Reframing traditional conceptions of ecology
Ecologies of Resistance brings together fourteen groundbreaking studies on Latin American and Latinx writing, visual and performing arts, film, and activism that propose alternatives to prevailing colonial and neocolonial conceptions of ecology. The contributors question the artificially imposed separation of the human and nonhuman, human dominance over place, and the concept of progress measured in strictly economic terms. They also examine how the notion of ecology has been discursively framed to justify colonial systems of power. With its integration of Ancestral, Afro-Latin American, and Latinx perspectives, this collection proposes new worldviews that emphasize marginalized voices and contest modernity's troubled legacy.
Ecologies of Resistance blurs the lines that have traditionally separated artistic expression from political activism and theory. Its innovative cross-disciplinary approach and exploration of alternative practices and theories from Latin America and Latinx contexts enriches contemporary ecocritical studies and the quest for a world that upholds plural forms of being.
