Focusing on the lived experiences of Afro-Colombians processing and resisting violence against their ecological communities, V isions of Global Environmental Justice employs accounts of the supernaturalnarratively and analytically to frame a contemporary struggle for environmental justice. The book applies Achille Mbembe's theorization of necropolitics to the environmental racism of the US War on Drugs in Colombia, specifically the aerial eradication of coca in the comunidades negras of the Pacific Coast. Through critical examination and deconstruction of transnational mythmaking and local oral tradition, V isions of Global Environmental Justice illustrates that non/humans rendered expendable by US-driven drug (necro)politics are indispensable to boththe conceptualizationandthe realizationof environmental justice globally. Far from being a study singularly focused on the symptoms of environmental issues, this book creativelyguides us toward a broader understanding of environmental racism and justice across geographic scales and non/human agencies.
