摘要

社会学家推崇杜波依斯为种族理论家,但忽视了他对环境主题的参与。他不仅关注生态,如土壤和水的健康,而且环境主题也出现在他对种族主义的解释中。杜波依斯预言了当代关于环境种族主义的学术,详细描述了殖民资本主义对环境利益(如自然资源)和危害(如洪水和污染)的不均衡分配。此外,杜波依斯对环境实体在形成种族主义方面的作用有着新颖的见解,我称之为环境种族化。他展示了土地斗争如何导致工人追求种族主义而非团结。他认为,资本主义种植园主采用种族主义来指责劳动者造成土壤退化。杜波依斯是社会学最早的环境理论家之一,他独特地阐述了环境与社会关系如何塑造种族主义。

The Soils of Black Folk: W.E.B. Du Bois’s Theories of Environmental Racialization
Sociologists have canonized W.E.B. Du Bois as a theorist of race but have neglected his engagement with environmental themes. Not only was he concerned with ecology, such as the health of soils and water, but environmental themes also figured in his explanations of racism. Du Bois prefigured contemporary scholarship on environmental racism, detailing colonial capitalism’s uneven distribution of environmental benefits—such as natural resources—and harms—such as flooding and pollution. Moreover, Du Bois had novel insights on the role of environmental entities in shaping the adoption of racism, a process I term environmental racialization. He demonstrates how struggles over land led workers to pursue racism rather than solidarity. He argues that capitalist planters adopted racism to blame laborers for degraded soils. Du Bois is one of sociology’s earliest environmental theorists, uniquely illuminating how environment-society relations shape racism.
