Dark Laboratory: On Columbus, the Caribbean, and the Origins of the Climate Crisis
In Dark Laboratory, Hunter College literature professor Tao Leigh Goffe offers a cogent and feisty argument thatfocuses on race, colonialism, and environmental transformation.
The “laboratory” of the book’s title is an attempt to create “a space of refuge and possibility” where scholars and writers can imagine how the violent colonialism of the West in the Caribbean and elsewhere can be repurposed.
The thesis of her book is the centrality of skin color and nonlinear thinking to the environmental story.
Among other things, Goffe discusses how natural phenomena like mountains, coral reefs, and tectonic plates are all part of the story of climate change.
