It obliterates most of what I thought I knew about the Caribbeans utility to Western Wealth. Kiese Laymon, New York Times bestselling author of HeavyIn 1492, Christopher Columbus arrived on the Caribbean Island of Guanahaní to find an Edenic scene that was soon mythologized. But behind the myth of paradise, the Caribbean and its people would come to pay the price of relentless Western exploitation and abuse. In Dark Laboratory, Dr. Tao Leigh Goffe embarks on a historical journey to chart the forces that have shaped these islands: the legacy of slavery, indentured labor, and the forced toil of Chinese and enslaved Black people who mined the islands bountyincluding guano, which, at the time, was more valuable than goldfor the benefit of European powers and at the expense of the islands sacred ecologies.Braiding together family history, cultural reportage, and social studies, Goffe radically transforms how we conceive of Blackness, the natural world, colonialism, and the climate crisis; and, in doing so, she deftly dismantles the many layers of entrenched imperialist thinking that shroud our established understanding of the human and environmental conditions to reveal the cause and effect of a global catastrophe. Dark Laboratory forces a reckoning with the received forms of knowledge that have led us astray.Through the lens of the Caribbean, both guide and warning of the man-made disasters that continue to plague our world, Goffe closely situates the origins of racism and climate catastrophe within a colonial context. And in redressing these twin apocalypses, Dark Laboratory becomes a record of the violence that continues to shape the Caribbean today. But it is also a declaration of hope, offering solutions toward a better future based on knowledge gleaned from island ecosystems, and an impassioned, urgent testament to the human capacity for change and renewal....4720684Dark Laboratory435435https://www.gandhi.com.mx/dark-laboratory-9780593914625/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4534755/image.jpg?v=638688864070300000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20259780593914625_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9780593914625_Award-winning historian, professor, and journalist Tao Leigh Goffe launches an investigation of the Caribbean as the seat of corrupt Western wealth and environmental exploitation.When Christopher Columbus arrived on the Caribbean island of Guanahaní, it was remade, at least in mythology, as Eden. Since then, the Caribbean and its peoples have paid the price of relentless Western exploitation and abuses, falling prey to the planting of sugarcane and other cash crops. In Dark Laboratory, Goffe embarks on a historical journey into the influences that have made these islandsfrom Jamaica and Aruba to Cuba and Martiniquea target of Western capitalism and the foundation of the global economy as we know it today. Through the lens of personal and family memoir, as well as cultural and social history, Goffe seeks to radically transform how we conceive of Blackness, natural history, colonialism, and the climate crisis. Her writing considers the legacy of slavery and indentured servitude as Chinese laborers worked alongside enslaved Black people to excavate products like sugarcane and guanoin its day more valuable than goldfrom these island nations.How can we combat contemporary racism and environmental degradation using the Caribbean and its dark history as guide? In autobiographical writing that shines light on both environmental upheaval and racial subjugation, Goffe offers solutions based on island ecologies, locating the origins of racism and the climate catastrophe in the colonization of the Caribbean. Her combination of personal narrative and research provides a record of the violence that has shaped these nations and a testament to our capacity for renewal.In stunning, lyrical prose, Goffe dismantles our longest-held notions about island utopias and proposes new modes of thinking about the ruin and restoration of the environment....(*_*)9780593914625_A groundbreaking investigation of the Caribbean as both an idyll in the American imagination and a dark laboratory of Western experimentation, revealing secrets to racial and environmental progress that impact how we live today.Dark Laboratory is a gargantuan, soulful work.
