| description | In recent years, the French Republic has endeavored to link the fate of its overseas territories to that of ecological concerns. Whether in biodiversity protection, risk management, the circular economy, or energy autonomy, this call for exemplary conduct often relies on the metaphor of the “laboratory,” a fitting image in the search for remedies to the many challenges facing these territories—unemployment, violence, high cost of living, and more. This book offers a perspective on the situation in the Atlantic Overseas Territories, through an exploration of the main areas of public action addressing environmental issues in the French Antilles and French Guiana. At a time of major societal transitions, the framing of these former departmentalized colonies as “sustainable development laboratories” reveals an experimental vision historically tied to these regions. Calling on them to set an example in environmental matters—after having been successively subjected to the brutality of colonial extractivism and shaped by the ideology of modernizing progress—is however far from straightforward. Beneath these various marks of “coloniality,” the claims of local actors and authorities emerge, in search of meaning and emancipation, which prove inseparable from the expression of a distinctive, albeit still uncertain and fragile, environmental subjectivity. By probing the current ecological crisis through the lens of “Creole laboratories,” this groundbreaking study resonates with numerous other issues (institutional, scientific, indigenous, etc.) at the heart of France’s Global South, offering new insight.This book is primarily intended for students, researchers, and academics, as well as public policy practitioners interested in global environmental change and North-South relations. |
