Building on insights of environmental justice scholarship as well as critical race and ethnic studies, the editors and contributors to Latinx Environmentalisms map the ways Latinx cultural texts integrate environmental concerns with questions of social and political justice. Original interviews with creative writers, including Cherríe Moraga, Helena María Viramontes, and Héctor Tobar, as well as new essays by noted scholars of Latinx literature and culture, show how Latinx authors and cultural producers express environmental concerns in their work. These chapters, which focus on film, visual art, and literature--and engage in fields such as disability studies, animal studies, and queer studies--emphasize the role of racial capitalism in shaping human relationships to the more-than-human world and reveal a vibrant tradition of Latinx decolonial environmentalism. Latinx Environmentalisms accounts for the ways Latinx cultures are environmental, but often do not assume the mantle of "environmentalism.""--Provided by vendor.American literatureHispanic American authorsHistory and criticismEnvironmentalism in literatureEnvironmentalism in artAmerican literatureHispanic American authorsHistory and criticism.Environmentalism in literature.Environmentalism in art.810.9868073Wald Sarah D1511390Wald Sarah D.Pulido LauraAlaimo Stacy1962-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910793862903321Latinx environmentalisms3744628UNINA
