This article advances a ‘political ecology of racial capitalism’ approach to further our understanding of the underlying systemic relations and logics of power driving planetary ecological crises. The particular concern here is to demonstrate how race underwrites the distinctively exhaustive society/nature relation fuelling both the productive excess and ecological exhaustion of the capitalist world-system. It does so by first identifying, as a foundational space-time of racial capitalism, a socio-ecological contact zone within which Indigenous and Black peoples’ earth-worlding capacity, situated in deep time and place, is indispensable to the survival of ‘late arriving’ Euro-Western settlers. It is out of the refusal of an emergent settler-master to recognize their dependence upon Indigenous and Black earth-world-making gifts that, this article argues, race emerges as a structuring relation of power transmuting such earth-worlds into lands and bodies given by nature/Earth. Such a transmutation functions to conceal the underlying reproductive conditions – Indigenous and Black earth-worlding capacity – of that which is now marked as nature/Earth. It is, then, the racialized production of nature that accounts, ultimately, for both the excess (from appropriation of Indigenous and Black earth-worlds) and exhaustion (from erasure of their constituting conditions) of the political ecology of racial capitalism.

本文提出了“种族资本主义的政治生态学”方法，以进一步加深我们对驱动行星生态危机的潜在系统关系和权力逻辑的理解。这里特别需要关注的是，证明种族是如何形成独特的穷举性社会/自然关系的，从而助长了资本主义世界体系的生产过剩和生态枯竭。为此，它首先确定了一个社会生态接触区域，作为种族资本主义的基础时空，在该区域中，深远的时间和地点所处的土著和黑人的地球世界生存能力对于“晚期”的生存是必不可少的。到达欧洲西部定居者。出于对新出现的定居者大师的拒绝，承认他们对土著和黑人制造地球的礼物的依赖，本文认为，种族作为力量的结构关系而出现，这种力量将这样的地球世界转化为自然/地球赋予的土地和身体。这种a变的作用是掩盖目前被标记为自然/地球的潜在生殖条件-土著和黑土世界能力。因此，自然的种族化生产最终解释了种族资本主义政治生态的过度（来自对土著和黑色地球世界的占用）和疲惫（由于消除了它们的构成条件）。这种a变的作用是掩盖目前被标记为自然/地球的潜在生殖条件-土著和黑土世界能力。因此，自然的种族化生产最终解释了种族资本主义政治生态的过度（来自对土著和黑色地球世界的占用）和疲惫（由于消除了它们的构成条件）。这种a变的作用是掩盖目前被标记为自然/地球的潜在生殖条件-土著和黑土的世界生存能力。因此，自然的种族化生产最终解释了种族资本主义政治生态的过度（来自对土著和黑色地球世界的占用）和疲惫（由于消除了它们的构成条件）。
