It is more and more evident that the world faces an urgent environmental crisis. Global economies, based on colonial imaginaries of progress through resource extraction, have severely damaged the planet. But not everybody is equally affected. The ecological catastrophe further marginalizes people along racial lines. Today, we talk with anthropologist Tamar Blickstein about the colonial affects of environmental racism.
The discussion is informed by her research for LANLOSS, a project supported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 846550
