Abstract

Caste and race, Dalits and Black people, and the common ground between them have been analyzed in many areas, but their conjunction in the environmental field has been neglected. This article locates Dalit ecologies by examining the close connection between caste and nature. Drawing from a plural framework of environmental justice and histories of environmental struggles among African Americans, it focuses on historical and contemporary ecological struggles of Dalits. It contemplates how their initial articulations under the rubric of civil rights developed into significant struggles over issues of Dalit access, ownership, rights, and partnership regarding natural resources, where themes of environmental and social justice appeared at the forefront. The intersections between Dalit and Black ecologies, the rich legacies of Black Panthers and Dalit Panthers, and their overlaps in environmental struggles open for us a new historical archive, where Dalit and Black power can talk to each other in the environmental present.

种姓、环境正义与达利特黑人生态的交叉性

种姓和种族、达利特人和黑人以及他们之间的共同点在许多领域都得到了分析，但他们在环境领域的结合却被忽视了。本文通过考察种姓与自然之间的紧密联系来定位达利特生态。它借鉴了环境正义和非裔美国人环境斗争历史的多元框架，重点关注达利特人的历史和当代生态斗争。它思考了他们在民权的标题下最初的表述是如何发展成为达利特人在自然资源的获取、所有权、权利和伙伴关系问题上的重大斗争的，在这些问题上，环境和社会正义的主题出现在了最前沿。达利特人和黑人生态之间的交叉点，黑豹和达利特黑豹的丰富遗产，以及它们在环境斗争中的重叠，为我们打开了一个新的历史档案，在这里，达利特和黑人权力可以在环境现状中相互对话。

期刊介绍： Environment and Society: Advances in Research is an annual review journal, publishing articles that have been commissioned in response to specific published calls.The field of research on environment and society is growing rapidly and becoming of ever-greater importance not only in academia but also in policy circles and for the public at large. This growth reflects the urgency of debate and the pace and scale of change with respect to the water crisis, deforestation, biodiversity loss, the looming energy crisis, nascent resource wars, environmental refugees, climate change, and environmental justice, which are just some of the many compelling challenges facing society today and in the future. It also reflects the richness and insights of scholarship exploring diverse cultural forms, social phenomena, and political-economic formations in which society and nature are intricately intertwined, if not indistinguishable. As a forum to address these issues, we are delighted to present an important peer-reviewed annual: Environment and Society: Advances in Research. Through this journal we hope to stimulate advanced research and action on these and other critical issues and encourage international communication and exchange among all relevant disciplines. Environment and Society publishes critical reviews of the latest research literature on environmental studies, including subjects of theoretical, methodological, substantive, and applied significance. Articles also survey the literature regionally and thematically and reflect the work of anthropologists, geographers, environmental scientists, and human ecologists from all parts of the world in order to internationalize the conversations within environmental anthropology, environmental geography, and other environmentally oriented social sciences. The publication will appeal to academic, research, and policy-making audiences alike.
