Description: Mimi Sheller delves into the ecological crises and reconstruction challenges affecting the entire Caribbean region, showing how vulnerability to ecological collapse and the quest for a "just recovery" in the Caribbean emerge from specific transnational political, economic, and cultural dynamics.

Review Quotes: "An accomplished and brilliant scholar, Mimi Sheller writes with imagination and insight, a deep theoretical sophistication, and an eye toward the configuration of new epistemic visions and approaches grounded in Caribbean realities. I can't think of any other analysis of the contemporary Haitian and Caribbean context quite like this important book."--Laurent Dubois, coauthor of "Freedom Roots: Histories from the Caribbean"
