ABSTRACTUnequal exchange in international trade lies at the crossroads of all the major contradictions of the current global capitalist system: class, spatial and ecological. Countering unequal exchange can offer the basis for a broad global social coalition demanding a new international economic and ecological order. It can unite the claims of social and ecological movements around a common agenda where global social justice meets global environmental justice. The objective conditions are provided by the common ground of concrete interests that binds together various political and social actors in the global South and North who are harmed by corporate neoliberal globalisation. Building the subjective conditions, however, requires overcoming theoretical reductionisms and political sectarianisms that contribute to the fragmentation of social struggles.KEYWORDS: Unequal exchangeglobal social movementsglobal social justiceglobal environmental justice Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTRight after Hurricane Irma hit Puerto Rico and Florida, Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico in September 2017. Around the same time Harvey hit Texas. The vast difference in the treatment of Puerto Rico as a US territory, compared to Florida and Texas on the “mainland,” sparked conversations about the location of Puerto Rico in the US imagination and policies. The media coverage of the disaster and the statements from officials made it clear that while certain populations are protected and saved, certain others are abandoned and “let die.” To provide an explanation for these different treatments, I explore two “naturalizing” processes. First, I show how the historical construction of Puerto Ricans as “naturally” inferior disguised their century-long exploitation. Second, I examine how the framing of Hurricane Maria as a “natural” disaster on the one hand concealed historical interventions by the United States in Puerto Rico and on the other hand, ignored how disaster capitalism has caused an increase in the intensity and frequency of disasters. I suggest that state of exception and abandonment are two concepts that can provide an explanation about how these converging processes have made disasters the norm in the colony, rather than an anomaly.KEYWORDS: Colonialismcapitalism“natural” disastersnecropoliticsPuerto Rico AcknowledgementsI am thankful to my teacher and mentor, Dr. Elizabeth Aranda, for her encouragement and insight. I am also grateful to the reviewers and editors of the journal whose comments added depth to the analysis.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

Recent writing by Latin American feminists offers a unique political philosophy based on a novel and transformative analysis of the relationship between capitalism, coloniality, patriarchy, and terracide. Focusing on the work of Rita Segato, Julieta Paredes, Lélia Gonzalez, Raquel Gutiérrez-Aguilar, and Moira Millán, this paper introduces the term “Rooted-South feminism” and outlines its epistemic-rationality. I first show how these thinkers root their epistemological frame in the collective struggle of racialized women. Through this account I then make explicit the relational political ontology that grounds their thinking, paradigmatically expressed in the notions of “territory-body-land” and “terracide.” In describing how patriarchy functions as a system of domination that desensitises subjects to the suffering of the Other, I argue that Rooted-South feminists expose the structural relationship between capitalism, coloniality, violence against women, and the destruction of the Earth. Here, the feminine is conceived as a social function produced throughout the long histories of women. This “politics in a feminine key” uniquely understands the sphere of reproduction not simply as a vector of domination, but as the foundation for the liberation and regeneration of life in its totality. Rooted-South feminists propose an authentic historical pluralism engaged in the co-construction of an inhabited earth.

will enable us to re-establish our connections to the natural world. I have my doubts. The capacity for a global, encompassing love – as opposed to care for family or pack or ecosystem partners – is a distinctly human capacity that must be socially cultivated. Just being “back in nature” is not enough, since nature is, along with its cooperation, also a scene of competition and transformation – a transformation in which, as we know, countless species have died. That new species, as Buhner suggests, will replace the ones we’ve eliminated, may in fact be true. I doubt that the environmental crisis will wipe out all life on earth. But is that enough? Not for me. For our grief is not just for what we (and the world) have lost. It is also for what we as a species have done. And that grief cannot simply be assuaged by blaming capitalists, governments, and kept scientists. For these only have power, ultimately, because the rest of us let them have it. The crimes of our species are ours – a shared source of responsibility, and – given our ongoing failures – of grief as well.
