Une colère rouge recouvre le ciel. Les vagues s'agitent, l'eau monte, les forêts tombent et les corps s'enfoncent dans ce sanguinaire gouffre marin. Les cieux tonnent encore devant ce spectacle : le monde est en pleine tempête.Derrière sa prétention d'universalité, la pensée environnementale s'est construite sur l'occultation des fondations coloniales, patriarcales et esclavagistes de la modernité.

Con i Caraibi al centro della tempesta moderna – luogo del primo approdo di Colombo ma anche di test nucleari, monocolture inquinanti e deforestazione – questo volume propone un fondamentale salto interpretativo in due aspetti essenziali del nostro tempo: il razzismo e la crisi ambientale. Malcom Ferdinand guarda alle devastazioni attuali e alla storia della schiavitù, a chi è stato imbarcato nella stiva della nave negriera, per ridefinire il colonialismo come modo di abitare la terra e l'...
