Book Synopsis Une écologie décoloniale - Penser l'écologie depuis le monde caribéen by : Malcom Ferdinand
Download or read book Une écologie décoloniale - Penser l'écologie depuis le monde caribéen written by Malcom Ferdinand and published by Média Diffusion. This book was released on 2019-10-03T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Une colère rouge recouvre le ciel. Les vagues s'agitent, l'eau monte, les forêts tombent et les corps s'enfoncent dans ce sanguinaire gouffre marin. Les cieux tonnent encore devant ce spectacle : le monde est en pleine tempête. Derrière sa prétention d'universalité, la pensée environnementale s'est construite sur l'occultation des fondations coloniales, patriarcales et esclavagistes de la modernité. Face à la tempête, l'environnementalisme propose une arche de Noé qui cache dans son antre les inégalités sociales, les discriminations de genre, les racismes et les situations (post)coloniales, et abandonne à quai les demandes de justice. Penser l'écologie depuis le monde caribéen confronte cette absence à partir d'une région où impérialismes, esclavagismes et destructions de paysages nouèrent violemment les destins des Européens, Amérindiens et Africains. Le navire négrier rappelle que certains sont enchaînés à la cale et parfois jetés par-dessus bord à la seule idée de la tempête. Tel est l'impensé de la double fracture moderne qui sépare les questions coloniales des destructions environnementales. Or, panser cette fracture demeure la clé d'un " habiter ensemble " qui préserve les écosystèmes tout autant que les dignités. Telle est l'ambition d'une " écologie décoloniale " qui relie les enjeux écologiques à la quête d'un monde au sortir de l'esclavage et de la colonisation. Face à la tempête, ce livre est une invitation à construire un navire-monde où les rencontres des autres humains et non-humains sur le pont de la justice dessinent l'horizon d'un monde commun. Malcom Ferdinand est ingénieur en environnement de University College London, docteur en philosophie politique de l'université Paris-Diderot et chercheur au CNRS (IRISSO / Université Paris-Dauphine).
Book Synopsis Decolonial Ecology by : Malcom Ferdinand
Download or read book Decolonial Ecology written by Malcom Ferdinand and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-11-11 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is in the midst of a storm that has shaped the history of modernity along a double fracture: on the one hand, an environmental fracture driven by a technocratic and capitalist civilization that led to the ongoing devastation of the Earth’s ecosystems and its human and non-human communities and, on the other, a colonial fracture instilled by Western colonization and imperialism that resulted in racial slavery and the domination of indigenous peoples and women in particular. In this important new book, Malcom Ferdinand challenges this double fracture, thinking from the Caribbean world. Here, the slave ship reveals the inequalities that continue during the storm: some are shackled inside the hold and even thrown overboard at the first gusts of wind. Drawing on empirical and theoretical work in the Caribbean, Ferdinand conceptualizes a decolonial ecology that holds protecting the environment together with the political struggles against (post)colonial domination, structural racism, and misogynistic practices. Facing the storm, this book is an invitation to build a world-ship where humans and non-humans can live together on a bridge of justice and shape a common world. It will be of great interest to students and scholars in environmental humanities and Latin American and Caribbean studies, as well as anyone interested in ecology, slavery, and (de)colonization.

Book Synopsis The Struggle of Non-Sovereign Caribbean Territories by : H. Adlai Murdoch
Download or read book The Struggle of Non-Sovereign Caribbean Territories written by H. Adlai Murdoch and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Struggle of Non-Sovereign Caribbean Territories is an essay collection made up of two sections; in the first, a group of anglophone and francophone scholars examines the roots, effects and implications of the major social upheaval that shook Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, and Réunion in February and March of 2009. They clearly demonstrate the critical role played by community activism, art and media to combat politico-economic policies that generate (un)employment, labor exploitation, and unattended health risks, all made secondary to the supremacy of profit. In the second section, additional scholars provide in-depth analyses of the ways in which an insistence on capital accumulation and centralization instantiated broad hierarchies of market-driven profit, capital accumulation, and economic exploitation upon a range of populations and territories in the wider non-sovereign and nominally sovereign Caribbean from Haiti to the Dutch Antilles to Puerto Rico, reinforcing the racialized patterns of socioeconomic exclusion and privatization long imposed by France on its former colonial territories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Douvan soufwans twel-vivan lé Zantiy, an magma-dinité lévé an tjè latè. La pollution de la Martinique et de la Guadeloupe au chlordécone constitue l’une des plus grandes catastrophes environnementales de la Ve République. Elle révèle l’habiter colonial, cette manière destructrice, raciste et patriarcale d’habiter la Terre instaurée par les colonisations et esclavages de la modernité capitaliste. Les révoltes volcaniques des peuples antillais entendent bien défaire les plantations, les sciences, l’État et l’imaginaire national qui s’accommodent de leur déshumanisation. Par un geste interdisciplinaire et poétique, S’aimer la Terre déplie les facettes de ce scandale et propose une manière de faire monde portée par l’exigence décoloniale d’un amour de la Terre. Malcom Ferdinand est un politiste et philosophe martiniquais. Chercheur au CNRS (IRISSO / Université Paris Dauphine-PSL), il a publié au Seuil en 2019 Une écologie décoloniale.

Book Synopsis On Michael Jackson by : Margo Jefferson
Download or read book On Michael Jackson written by Margo Jefferson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-01-09 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The renowned Pulitzer Prize–winning cultural critic brilliantly unravels the complexities of one of the most enigmatic figures of our time in this passionate, incisive, and bracing work of cultural analysis. Who is Michael Jackson and what does it mean to call him a “What Is It”? What do P. T. Barnum, Peter Pan, and Edgar Allan Poe have to do with our fascination with Jackson? How did his curious Victorian upbringing and his tenure as a child prodigy on the “chitlin’ circuit” inform his character and multiplicity of selves? How is Michael Jackson’s celebrity related to the outrageous popularity of nineteenth-century minstrelsy? What is the perverse appeal of child stars for grown-ups and what is the price of such stardom for these children and for us? What uncanniness provoked Michael Jackson to become “Alone of All His Race, Alone of All Her Sex,” while establishing himself as an undeniably great performer with neo-Gothic, dandy proclivities and a producer of visionary music videos? What do we find so unnerving about Michael Jackson’s presumed monstrosity? In short, how are we all of us implicated? In this stunning book, Margo Jefferson gives us the incontrovertible lowdown on call-him-what-you-wish; she offers a powerful reckoning with a quintessential, richly allusive signifier of American society and popular culture.
Book Synopsis Otherness and Power: Michael Jackson and His Media Critics by : Susan Woodward
Download or read book Otherness and Power: Michael Jackson and His Media Critics written by Susan Woodward and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Otherness and Power: Michael Jackson and His Media Critics is an innovative study of the cultural impact of Michael Jackson. Jackson had millions of ardent fans around the world, but from the early days of his adult career many in the media mocked and reviled him. How did such divergent attitudes come about? This book examines the origins and psychological underpinnings of the media's hostility by closely analyzing some of the most harshly critical writings about Jackson. While racism and discomfort with Jackson's "otherness" have previously been recognized as the elements that fueled media criticisms, Susan Woodward reveals another important factor: the perception that Jackson was extraordinarily powerful, in ways that went beyond celebrity and wealth. Through research and careful analysis, Woodward explores the ways in which Jackson's power was seen, the largely unconscious response to his power, the functions of the media's criticisms and the origins of the perceptions of Jackson's power.
Download or read book Man in the Music written by Joseph Vogel and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For half a century, Michael Jackson’s music has been an indelible part of our cultural consciousness. Landmark albums such as Off the Wall and Thriller shattered records, broke racial barriers, amassed awards, and set a new standard for popular music. While his songs continue to be played in nearly every corner of the world, however, they have rarely been given serious critical attention. The first book dedicated solely to exploring his creative work, Man in the Music guides us through an unparalleled analysis of Jackson’s recordings, album by album, from his trailblazing work with Quincy Jones to his later collaborations with Teddy Riley, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Rodney Jerkins. Drawing on rare archival material and on dozens of original interviews with the collaborators, engineers, producers, and songwriters who helped bring the artist’s music into the world, Jackson expert and acclaimed cultural critic Joseph Vogel reveals the inspirations, demos, studio sessions, technological advances, setbacks and breakthroughs, failures and triumphs, that gave rise to an immortal body of work.

Book Synopsis Congregations in Europe by : Christophe Monnot
Download or read book Congregations in Europe written by Christophe Monnot and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-14 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume describes and maps congregations of Christian confessions and denominations, as well as groups with Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, and various other spiritual faiths, in different European countries. Consisting of three parts, it presents concrete sociological studies addressing how established and not established, old and new congregations of various faiths create a new kind of religious diversity at the country level; how religious congregations are challenged and thrive in large cities; and how religious congregations change in the 21st century. The book enlightens by its descriptive analysis and the theoretical questions it raises concerning the religious transformations happening all over Europe. It addresses issues of religious diversity in the cities of Europe by presenting large studies conducted in cities such as Barcelona in Spain, and Aarhus in Denmark. By means of large-scale censuses taken in areas such as North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany and in countries like Switzerland and Italy, the book shows how the historically established churches restructure their congregations and activities. It clarifies for the new gatherers where and how a new diversity of religious congregations is in the process of being established. Finally, the book covers two important topical issues: pluralisation and secularisation. It provides new data on religious diversity, painting a new picture of secularisation: the impact and structural consequences of the long-term decrease of membership in the established churches.

Book Synopsis A History of Global Health by : Randall M. Packard
Download or read book A History of Global Health written by Randall M. Packard and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping history explores why people living in resource-poor areas lack access to basic health care after billions of dollars have been invested in international-health assistance. Over the past century, hundreds of billions of dollars have been invested in programs aimed at improving health on a global scale. Given the enormous scale and complexity of these lifesaving operations, why do millions of people in low-income countries continue to live without access to basic health services, sanitation, or clean water? And why are deadly diseases like Ebola able to spread so quickly among populations? In A History of Global Health, Randall M. Packard argues that global-health initiatives have saved millions of lives but have had limited impact on the overall health of people living in underdeveloped areas, where health-care workers are poorly paid, infrastructure and basic supplies such as disposable gloves, syringes, and bandages are lacking, and little effort has been made to address the underlying social and economic determinants of ill health. Global-health campaigns have relied on the application of biomedical technologies—vaccines, insecticide-treated nets, vitamin A capsules—to attack specific health problems but have failed to invest in building lasting infrastructure for managing the ongoing health problems of local populations. Designed to be read and taught, the book offers a critical historical view, providing historians, policy makers, researchers, program managers, and students with an essential new perspective on the formation and implementation of global-health policies and practices.
