Weaving together historical and ethnographic research, Catalina M. de Onís challenges the master narratives of Puerto Rico as a tourist destination and site of ";natural"; disasters. She demonstrates how fossil-fuel economies are inextricably entwined with colonial practices and policies and how local community groups in Puerto Rico have struggled against energy coloniality and energy privilege to mobilize and transform power from the ground up. This work decenters continental contexts and deconstructs damaging hierarchies that devalue and exploit disenfranchised rural, coastal communities. Onís highlights and collaborates with individuals who refuse the cruel logics and discourses of empire and domination by imagining and implementing energy justice and other interconnected radical power transformations. Diving deeply into the concepts of energy, islands, and power, this book engages various metaphors for alternative world-making. 410 0$aEnvironmental communication, power, and culture ;$v1. 606 $aPower resources$zPuerto Rico 606 $aEnergy policy$zPuerto Rico 606 $aEnergy policy 615 0$aPower resources 615 0$aEnergy policy 615 0$aEnergy policy. 676 $a333.79097295 700 $aDe Onis$b Catalina M.$f1986-$01217348 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554252503321 996 $aEnergy Islands$92815419 997 $aUNINA
