The politics of airing grievances
Pittsburgh's airshed is among the most surveilled and studied in the United States, yet its residents continue to endure some of the worst air quality in the United States. In 2016, in response to the decades-long failure of the local Board of Health to take decisive action against regional polluters, Pittsburgh residents began documenting their air quality complaints using the Smell Pittsburgh app. Drawing from an analysis of thousands of Smell …
Black Ecology and Critical Environmental Justice
How do we make sense of—and adequately strive against or put an end to—the socioecological violence that so tenaciously adheres to black life? In response to this question, this essay contributes to the collective endeavor toward a black (radical) ecology, as an ever-necessary and ever-evolving knowledge and practice of insurgency. More specifically, we take the opportunity we reflect upon what David N. Pellow identifies as the pillars of critica…
Refiguring the Plantationocene
While sympathetic to debates about the utility, accuracy, and significance of the “Anthropocene,” in this brief essay, we are most interested in implicating racialization, colonization, and their ongoing place in the capitalist world-economy and global ecological change. To this end, we point to the potential of thinking with the “Plantationocene,” considering that to invoke the plantation is to simultaneously contend with the intermeshing organi…
Introduction to the Special Issue on World-Systems Analysis and the Anthropocene
Across the social sciences and humanities, and in diverse forms of popular media around the world, discourse about the Anthropocene is proliferating. From the plastic particles found in deep sea trenches to the unfolding of Earth’s sixth mass extinction, among many other indicators—notably anthropogenic climate change—it is clear that human impacts may have irreversibly perturbed the planet. This special issue sets out to deepen and broaden the c…
Notes toward an anticolonial environmental sociology of race
This essay contributes to an ever-growing chorus of scholars calling for renewed attention to the dynamics of race and environment by introducing the need for and basic features of an anticolonial environmental sociology. I argue that when it comes to matters of race, environmental sociologists often inherit ontological assumptions that obfuscate the entanglement of racialization and colonial domination, thereby limiting the preoccupations of the…
No Beggars amongst Them”
This article explores historical processes of land dispossession through an in-depth case of the Narragansett Indians of present-day Rhode Island. Using an eventful historical methodology, I uncover three primary mechanisms, each temporally situated, that dispossessed the Narragansett tribe of their land: violence, debt, and state governance. I proceed by first considering Narragansett life before the incursion of settler colonialism. Following t…
Ruin's Progeny
Extractive industries have long been a topic of study in environmental social science. These studies have focused on how extractive industries, as linked to global capitalism, degrade local communities and their environments, but have failed to consider their racialized effects. At the same time, when scholars have examined the intersection of race and the environment, their analyses tend towards the quantification and mapping of the disproportio…
