Abstract

Abstract:This article contributes to recent work that has turned to Frantz Fanon for a socio-ecological approach to racism and colonization. Its intervention is to take up Fanon to critically reflect on the concept and use of “environmental racism,” one of the few approaches we have to hand to interrogate the place of race in discussions of the Anthropocene. It shows that a Fanonian approach to environmental racism integrates a socio-ecological perspective with decolonial political phenomenology. It uses this position as a foundation to rethink environmental racism, reframing the problem in terms of racist environments. Environmental racism can then be understood as a symptom of a more fundamental problem with modes of experiencing and organizing the world.

与无所不在的死亡作持久的斗争：与Frantz Fanon一起重温环境种族主义

摘要：这篇文章有助于Frantz Fanon对种族主义和殖民化的社会生态学方法的研究。它的干预是让法农批判性地反思“环境种族主义”的概念和使用，这是我们在人类世讨论中为数不多的质疑种族地位的方法之一。它表明，法农主义的环境种族主义方法将社会生态视角与非殖民化政治现象学相结合。它利用这一立场作为重新思考环境种族主义的基础，从种族主义环境的角度重新定义这个问题。然后，环境种族主义可以被理解为体验和组织世界模式的一个更根本问题的症状。

期刊介绍： The critical philosophy of race consists in the philosophical examination of issues raised by the concept of race, the practices and mechanisms of racialization, and the persistence of various forms of racism across the world. Critical philosophy of race is a critical enterprise in three respects: it opposes racism in all its forms; it rejects the pseudosciences of old-fashioned biological racialism; and it denies that anti-racism and anti-racialism summarily eliminate race as a meaningful category of analysis. Critical philosophy of race is a philosophical enterprise because of its engagement with traditional philosophical questions and in its readiness to engage critically some of the traditional answers.
