玛丽亚、伊尔玛、哈维、卡特里娜--这些已经不仅仅是名字了。它们代表了最近几次摧毁北美和加勒比海地区社区的飓风。随着自然-社会的相遇，这些巨大的风暴将一系列历史、社会文化和政治经济问题推上了风口浪尖--从殖民主义和种族，到日益增长的不平等模式，政府管理不善，以及与气候变化相关的知识政治。媒体对这些事件的报道让人想起了关键灾害研究学者早期的学术干预，他们强调了灾害不仅是气候或地质力量的结果，而且与历史、社会文化和制度动态有关。人们越来越普遍认为，在评估风暴、地震、干旱或其他“自然”事件的风险和后果时，必须考虑种族、种姓、族裔、收入和其他不平等模式。事实上，最近加勒比海飓风的余波让人们关注到美国与其准帝国领地波多黎各和维尔京群岛之间长期存在的政治和经济不平等--无论是关于这些岛屿不平等和脆弱性的途径和未来，还是政府反应迟缓和不充分。“天下没有自然灾害”(史密斯，2006)这句话不应该再令人惊讶了。相反，最近的头条新闻突出了不平等、殖民主义历史或不平衡的政治经济和殖民历史产生的风险，证实了政治生态、环境正义(EJ)和关键灾难研究的长期见解。毫无疑问，很少有人喜欢这种验证，他们更愿意被证明是错误的。在目前这个更普遍地接受一些关键的时刻
Maria, Irma, Harvey, Katrina – these have become more than names. They represent several of the most recent hurricanes that have devastated communities across North America and the Caribbean. As nature–society encounters, these massive storms elevated a range of historical, sociocultural, and political economic issues to the fore – from colonialism and race, to growing patterns of inequality, government mismanagement, and the politics of knowledge related to climate change. Media coverage of these events recalls early scholarly interventions by critical disaster studies scholars that highlighted the myriad ways that ‘disasters’ are not only results of climatic or geologic forces, but are connected to historical, sociocultural, and institutional dynamics. It has become increasingly accepted that race, caste, ethnicity, income, and other patterns of inequality must be considered when evaluating the risk and outcomes of storms, earthquakes, droughts or other ‘natural’ events. Indeed, the recent aftermath of hurricanes in the Caribbean cast a spotlight on long-standing political and economic inequalities between the U.S. and its quasi-imperial territories of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands – whether about the pathways and futures of inequality and vulnerability on the islands, or the slow and inadequate governmental response. That ‘there’s no such thing as a natural disaster’ (Smith, 2006) should no longer be a surprise. Rather, the recent headlines highlighting inequalities, histories of colonialism or risk generated by uneven political economies and colonial histories validate long-held insights from political ecology, environmental justice (EJ), and critical disaster studies. Undoubtedly few relish in this validation and would have much preferred to be proven wrong. In this current moment of more general acceptance of some of critical
