Racial Climates, Ecological Indifference offers a powerful intervention to the field of climate justice scholarship by addressing a too often neglected aspect of the field of climate justice, namely systemic racisms. Building on the work of Black feminist theorists, Tuana develops an ecointersectional approach designed to reveal the depth and complexities of racial climates overlooked even in environmental justice literature. Tuana underscores that any
effort to protect the environment must also be a fight against systemic racisms and other forms of systemic inequity.
