CENTRO Journal: Spring 2023 | Volume 35 | Number 1 - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

This special issue of CENTRO Journal brings together articles at the intersection of environmental, ecological, climate, energy, and social justice concerns in Puerto Rico and among Puerto Rican communities. The explicit use and study of environmental justice, environmental racism, climate justice, energy justice, and local ecological knowledge concepts in Puerto Rican social justice studies mark a significant, yet under-examined, critical space for praxis. These concepts resonate with the editors’ own scholarly research and activism in Puerto Rico and in the US Puerto Rican diaspora. From their different vantages, each of them considers the environmental and ecological harms of climate change, racial and neoliberal capitalism, energy colonialism, and the enduring regimes of extractivism on communities and livelihoods in Puerto Rico and among Puerto Ricans. Using the aforementioned conceptual frameworks, the articles in this collection focus on community grassroots organizing, energy and environmental justice, human rights, visual arts, decoloniality, climate change, disaster studies, and queer ecologies. Together, these pieces contribute to the growing literature on critical Puerto Rican environmental, ecological, climate, and energy justice studies and their entwinements with other social justice concerns.
