This research builds on and extends critical environmental justice research into carceral spaces. Here, the focus is on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on the lessons provided by the Black Lives Matter social movement and critical race theory, this research draws connections between the institutionalized racism in the criminal justice system and immigration policies. The nativist and racist rationale for harsh immigration policies asserts that callous treatment of immigrants makes U.S. society safer. However, the blow back from these policies makes U.S. society less secure and degrades the civil and political rights for all. Informed by a riskscape framework, we pursue multiscalar and empirical research into this blow back. Riskscapes encompass different viewpoints on the threat of loss across space, time, individuals, and collectives. More tangibly, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, ICE detention facilities provided ideal conditions for the infection to spread among the people detained, visitors, and staff. The walls and fences surrounding ICE facilities did not prevent the spread of infection to nearby communities, counties, and regions. Heightened infection rates provide tangible (and tragic) evidence of the blow back from the callousness of U.S. immigration policies in general and of ICE facilities in specific. This synthesis of critical environmental justice and riskscapes literatures lays the foundation for a textured and multi-layered understanding of the unequal and institutional dimensions of risks in and around carceral facilities.

The environmental justice movement (EJM) in the United States has grown in size and in its cultural and political importance in climate and environmental policy circles. This growth has meant that the organizations and leaders that make up the EJM and their respective areas of focus are also evolving. The social movement capacities of the EJM are important predictors of the future success of the movement as the climate crisis bears down on vulnerable communities worldwide. As a part of designing a leadership program for environmental justice (EJ) activists based at The New School, this landscape assessment surveyed and interviewed more than 200 EJ movement activists across the country to explore the priorities, strategies, challenges, and social movement capacities of the EJM. The study reveals that EJM activists work across a diverse set of issues and rank climate justice among their highest priority issues. They overwhelmingly rely on base building, coalitions, and organizing strategies to do their work. In reflecting on the movement’s contemporary approaches, activists articulated the importance of shared frameworks such as climate justice to shift popular narratives and action on climate change. The climate justice frame reflects a critical, intersectional, and reconstructive conceptualization of the climate crisis that requires disrupting the status quo approaches to climate change. The study points to some of the challenges and opportunities ahead for realizing such a contentious and transformative climate justice vision led by EJM activists in a moment of expanding political opportunity and risk.

The inequalities across the global food system are rooted in structural racism and the increasing hunger across the world. Black, Indigenous, and people of color have been disproportionately affected by food injustice interlinked with other forms of violence and oppression. The current health, food, ecological, and social crisis poses new challenges on the everyday food practices. We consider social memory as a key field to explore the meanings, silences, and resistances of afro-diasporic peoples in relation to food. To answer the question: Which are the meanings of the food systems that are produced, recovered, and transformed from the social memory in the current context of a greater mediatization of racial violence throughout the continent? We started this exploration during the COVID-19 lockdown. Under the project “Flavors of Afro Memory - Sabores de la Memoria Afro” and with the aim of understanding the intersections between food, race, and power, we used social media (Instagram and WhatsApp) to collect testimonies and recipes. From May to December 2020, we receive 43 contributions from afro-descendant people from Venezuela, and other countries from Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. From testimonies, recipes, and stories, we found narratives related with diversity, agency, and identity as important aspects for culturally appropriate agendas toward food justice. These aspects are connected with the evocated places, creating territories of Afro-food memories. Finally, we discuss the importance of the afro-diasporic dialogues from the Afro-Venezuelan perspective to contribute to comparative and relational analysis for linking the North–South struggles for black liberation toward food justice.
全球粮食系统的不平等根源于结构性种族主义和世界各地日益严重的饥饿。与其他形式的暴力和压迫交织在一起的粮食不公正对黑人、土著居民和有色人种的影响尤为严重。当前的健康、食品、生态和社会危机对日常食品实践提出了新的挑战。我们认为社会记忆是探索非洲流散民族在食物方面的意义、沉默和抵抗的关键领域。为了回答这个问题:在整个非洲大陆种族暴力更大的媒介化背景下，从社会记忆中产生、恢复和转变的食物系统的意义是什么?我们在COVID-19封锁期间开始了这项探索。在“非洲记忆的味道- Sabores de la Memoria Afro”项目下，为了理解食物、种族和权力之间的交集，我们使用社交媒体(Instagram和WhatsApp)收集证词和食谱。2020年5月至12月，我们收到了来自委内瑞拉以及非洲、拉丁美洲和加勒比地区其他国家的非裔人士的43份捐款。从证词、食谱和故事中，我们发现与多样性、能动性和身份相关的叙述是文化上适当的食物正义议程的重要方面。这些方面与唤起的地方联系在一起，创造了非洲食物记忆的领土。最后，我们从非裔委内瑞拉人的角度讨论了非裔移民对话的重要性，以有助于将南北黑人解放斗争与粮食正义联系起来的比较和关系分析。
