cal economy, and geography at UCLA
In this talk, Perry ex
plores the urgent need to challenge Euro-American dominance in shaping c
limate responses—responses that often reinforce the very injustices they
claim to solve. Focusing on the Caribbean, he examines how intersecting
ecological, political, and economic crises—rooted in colonialism, World
War II, and neoliberalism—have reshaped the region’s landscapes and liv
elihoods.
These crises are not just consequences of history but on
going social forces that demand new ways of organizing, resisting, and r
edefining what it means to be human. Perry introduces the concept of rep
arative ecologies—community-driven efforts, alternative economies, and k
nowledge systems that resist imperial and capitalist control while envis
ioning more just and sustainable futures.
