![]() Through diverse mediums including books, TED Talks, op-eds, research papers, poetry and art, I analyze the way in which black women are revolutionizing environmental justice despite their historical and persistent systematic exclusion from the environmental literary canon and job sector. They do not center Carolyn Finney, Dorceta Taylor, MaVynee Betsch, Majora Carter, Brenda Palms Barber, Rue Mapp, or Harriet Tubman. White environmentalists ubiquitously cite Henry David Thoreau, Andrew Dobson, Arne Naess, and the countless other white men who comprise the canon. ![]() Like all canons, mainstream environmental literature is no exception: white folks monopolize a degree of authoritarian Truth without citing or creating space for black, brown, queer, indigenous, or feminist voices.
