Despojos Racistas - by Josefa Sanchez Contreras (Paperback)

About the Book

If racism during historical colonialism had the function of legitimizing the dispossession of the global South to achieve the industrialization of the North, we are currently witnessing the renewal of the phenomenon, now hidden in the imperative to mitigate the climate emergency and overcome the energy crisis. As the environmental catastrophe worsens, new colonial relations are also intensifying, and with them racist discourses return to the scene with much greater force. Racist Dispossession dismantles the fallacies of the green transitions on which mining extractivism and the rise of mega energy projects in Latin America and other regions are built and justified.
