摘要

1945年6月,佐拉·尼尔·赫斯顿写信给W·E·B·杜波依斯,提出一项计划,在佛罗里达州建立一个黑人墓地,埋葬著名美国黑人的遗骸。Hurston建议去佛罗里达州,因为该州的气候保证了墓地全年都是青翠的,她还包括了一份她想要为她的纪念花园提供花草树木的景观规划。作为新奥尔良Hoodoo Vodou的启蒙者,Hurston的精神本体论允许祖先的存在,以深入了解土地的花朵、树木和其他地形特征的生活形式。我将赫斯特的墓地置于黑人墓地地理学和美国黑人死亡场景研究的扩展谱系中,研究了黑人园艺和黑人埋葬实践之间的纠缠关系,认为这产生了一种独特的根系工作生态,在这种生态中,黑人女园丁在我们腐烂的尘埃中传播新的生命形式。

A Flowering of Memory
In June 1945, Zora Neale Hurston wrote to W. E. B. Du Bois to propose a plan to create a Black cemetery to house the remains of famous Black Americans in Florida. Hurston suggested Florida because the state’s climate guaranteed the cemetery would be verdant year-round, and she included a landscaping plan of the flowers and trees she desired to furnish her memorial garden. As an initiate of New Orleans Hoodoo-Vodou, Hurston’s ontology of spirit allowed for the presence of the ancestors to indwell the living form of flowers, trees, and other topographical features of the land. I contextualize Hurston’s cemetery within an extended genealogy of Black necrogeography and the study of Black American deathscapes, examining the entangled relationship of Black gardening and Black burial practices as engendering a distinct ecology of root-working in which Black women gardeners propagate new forms of life in the very dust of our decomposition.

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.
