Özet
A Spy in the Struggle (henceforth A Spy) (2020a) is about Yolanda Vance, a success-driven, Harvard Law graduate Black young woman, who ends up working for the FBI’s spying in on her own people. She is sent undercover to infiltrate a low-income Black and Brown Bay Area, eco-racial justice organization, Red, Black, and Green (RBG). RBG is a youth-led political organization that fights white supremacy in the forms of corporate entity, greenwashers, mainstream environmentalists, police violence and climate emergency. The FBI, through Yolanda, wants to keep angry Black folks under control. Using David N. Pellow’s concept of Critical Environmental Justice (CEJ), A Spy, thus, addresses recognition of ecological violence and racist assault against Latinx and African American living spaces, bodies, and how Latinx and African American communities seek to find ways to abolish the systems that enable the conditions in which such violence is sanctioned and perpetuated. This chapter reveals that it is high time to show the intersectionality of issues such as police violence, racism, sexism, health crises, state surveillance, poverty, COVID19, ICE, Black Lives Matter (BLM) and climate crisis along with expanding the discourse of environmental racism.
