Dealing with both environment and empire, as well as unequal (colonial) power relations, has so far largely occurred in separate fields, environmental history, and postcolonial studies. The book attempts to bring the two strands together and to combine the conceptual perspective of intertwined history and comparative practices in order to highlight both material and constructed (or discursive) aspects of the environment as a factor in the formation of unequal (colonial) power relations. Two case studies are conducted through this conceptual lens. The first offers a new perspective on Christopher Columbus' first contact with the Arawak in Hispaniola in 1492. The second examines how climate became an argument for enslaving Africans and displacing them to sugar plantations in the Caribbean. 606 $aHistory$2bicssc 606 $aColonialism & imperialism$2bicssc 606 $aThe environment$2bicssc 610 $aEnvironmental history; postcolonial studies; climate; the Caribbean; entangled history 615 7$aHistory 615 7$aColonialism & imperialism 615 7$aThe environment 700 $aRohland$b Eleonora$4auth$01306098 702 $aRaussert$b Wilfried$4edt 702 $aKaltmeier$b Olaf$4edt 702 $aRaussert$b Wilfried$4oth 702 $aKaltmeier$b Olaf$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910634061203321 996 $a¿Historia entrelazada y el medio ambiente? $93028262 997 $aUNINA
