Table of ContentsReviews"“Malcom Ferdinand brilliantly breaks away from the spider web of canonical ecological narratives and arguments. The wrongdoing of modernity is diagnosed from the decolonial Caribbean experience of coloniality. Decolonial Ecology reveals – through the power of storytelling – that the sacralization of reason, statistics, and mega-data has prevented us from realizing that ecological and colonial problems cannot be solved within the blindness of the Western modernity that created the problems.” Walter D. Mignolo, author of The Politics of Decolonial Investigations “The book is a provocation to those thinkers who stress the importance of thinking about the environment through the perspective of geological time, which is a temporal horizon that considers the details of events like colonialism to be insignificant on a planetary scale. Ferdinand’s work is a vehement rejection of that move, an insistence that any thought about modernity’s ‘crisis’ must start with the racist and ecocidal violence of colonialism that created it.” Environmental Politics ""Ferdinand’s Decolonial Ecology contributes to a rich history of anti-colonial Afro-Caribbean philosophy, cements Caribbean values within the global environmental justice movement, and speaks to the struggles of marginalised people around the world as they attempt to shape a world that includes their own visions for the future.""
