Restoration otherwise: Towards alternative coastal ecologies

Abstract: This article considers how to rethink ecological restoration as a process tethered to ongoing formulations of racial and environmental justice. It is situated in the context of coastal Louisiana's wetland loss crisis and the state's unprecedented investment in large-scale wetland restoration projects as a technoscientific fix that comes at the expense of several small, Black and Indigenous bayou communities. Critical of approaching restoration as a practice predicated on loss and return, this article builds up… Show more

“…Time is a strategy used by the state and capital to discipline, coerce, and frame what is possible -from the management of minutes or even seconds in the workplace (Dimpfl, 2018), to the inscription of dominant time into the law (Joshi, 2023;Mills, 2014), from the structure of checkpoints and prisons which control and restructure time (Tawil-Souri, 2017), to the management of how we think of epochs, eras, or the future (Curley and Smith, forthcoming;Fagan, 2019;Whyte, 2021). Barra (2024) begins her article on "restoration otherwise," quoting Louisiana officials saying, "We have no time left to lose." This seemingly protective urgency justifies the abandonment of the Black, Indigenous, southeast Asian, and low-income communities affected (Barra, 2024: 2).…”

“…In theorizing Black ecologies of care, Reese and Johnson (2022) underscore the ways mutual aid and other forms of mutuality and solidarity have long existed within “ongoing experiments in relationality that foreground Black life and ways of living in ecologies of neglect and terror” (28). Importantly, we cannot forget that there is also ecological care taking place in these spaces (Barra, 2023; Davis et al., 2019), and these modes of care inform each other shaping an ecosystem of care making living possible in “unlivable” spaces. This encapsulates the struggle for dignity, protection, and care for Black life in EJ communities.…”
