This introduction calls for political ecology to systematically engage with the ways that white supremacy shapes human relationships with land through entangled processes of settler colonialism, empire and racial capitalism. To develop the analytic of abolition ecology, we begin with the articulation of W.E.B. Du Bois' abolition democracy together with Ruth Wilson Gilmore's spatially attuned analytic of abolition geography. Rather than define communities by the violence they suffer, abolition ecologies call for attention to radical place"?making and the land, air and water based environments within which places are made. To that end, we suggest that an abolition ecology demands attention to the ways that coalitional land"?based politics dismantle oppressive institutions and to the promise of abolition, which Gilmore describes as making "freedom as a place".

Resumen

Esta introducci??n hace una llamada a la ecolog??a"?pol??tica para que critique sistem??ticamente las formas en que la supremac??a blanca orienta a las relaciones entre lose seres humanos y la tierra a trav?s de los procesos de colonialismo, imperialismo y capitalismo racial. Para desarrollar el concepto de la ecolog??a abolicionista, comenzamos articulando la propuesta de democracia de la abolici??n de W.E.B. Du Bois de con el concepto de Ruth Wilson Gilmore de la geograf??a de abolici??n con su anal??tica atinado a lo espacial. En vez de definir a comunidades por la violencia que sufren, la ecolog??a abolicionista requiere atenci??n a hacer"?lugares radicales y sobre los entornos basados en tierra, aire, y agua en que se hacen los lugares. Con ese fin, sugerimos que una ecolog??a abolicionista exige an??lisis de las formas en que una pol??tica coalicional basada en la tierra desmantela las instituciones opresivas y la promesa de la abolici??n, que Gilmore relata como hacer "la libertad como un lugar".
