飓风“艾玛”和“玛丽亚”在加勒比地区（特别是在巴布达、多米尼加、波多黎各、圣马丁/圣马丁岛以及英属和美属维尔京群岛的部分地区）造成的破坏性影响，是一个气候灾难、复苏停滞和未来不可能实现的世界的预兆。加勒比的思想家、作家、诗人、哲学家、活动家和艺术家处于全球资本主义剥削人民和其他生物和非生物的前沿，他们生活在一个巨大的不平等和严重的不公正的世界体系中，长期以来一直生活在人类之后，思考并回答人类的问题，这一对岛屿未来化和未来化的反思，基于对三个不平衡的时空现实之间脱节的理解，对加勒比的“灾后恢复”和“气候适应”进行了批判性分析：（1）债务、外国援助和紧缩政策的减速“孤岛效应”;（2）“离岸”和“行星城市化”的扩展操作景观的加速流动性;（3）美洲印第安人生存、栗色逃亡和黑人/土著文化耐受力的持续性不稳定性。
The devastating impacts of Hurricanes Irma and Maria across the Caribbean (especially in Barbuda, Dominica, Puerto Rico, St Martin/St Maarten, and parts of the British and US Virgin Islands) are haunting harbingers of a world of climate disaster, halting recovery, and impossible futures. Being at the leading edge of the global capitalist exploitation of people and other living and non-living beings in a world-spanning system of vast inequity and severe injustice, Caribbean thinkers, writers, poets, philosophers, activists, and artists have long lived with, dwelt upon, and offered answers to the problem of being human after Man, as Sylvia Wynter puts it. This reflection on island futuring and defuturing offers a critical analysis of Caribbean “disaster recovery” and “climate adaptation” based on an understanding of the disjuncture between three uneven spatio-temporal realities: (1) the decelerating “islanding effects” of debt, foreign aid, and austerity; (2) the accelerating mobilities of the “offshore” and extended operational landscapes of “planetary urbanization”; and (3) the durational im/mobilities of Amerindian survival, Maroon escape, and Black/Indigenous cultural endurance of alternative ontologies.
