▼a "Repurposing Queens: Excavating a Black Feminist Eco-ethic in a Time of Ecological Peril," articulates how Black feminist theories of race, gender, and science critique both conservative and liberal trends in environmentalism and environmental studies. The project is transnational in scope in that it analyzes figures/objects from the United States and Kenya by engaging theories and discourses developed across the African diaspora. The project also focuses on the Modern Environmental Movement period (running from the inaugural "Earth Day" in 1970 to the present) in order directly confront how contemporary Western cultural biases limit the political impact of environmentalism and the intellectual reach of environmental studies. I confront these limitations through an interdisciplinary exploration of four Black women ecoactivists through the race, gender, and class-focused framework of Black feminist studies. Each chapter focuses primarily on one of the forward thinking and vigilant "Queens" centered in "Repurposing Queens" (so named to emphasize their roles as vanguards and leaders in environmental discourse). These figures include Hazel Johnson (widely recognized as the "Mother" of the environmental justice movement and founder of pre-eminent environmental justice organization People for Community Recovery) |
