Abstract
In Latin America the Environmental Humanities are not widely established as an academic concept either in teaching on in research, but the historically grounded and interdisciplinary vantage point of environmental research and analysis in the region has tremendous potential to contribute to the questions with which Environmental Humanities scholars are concerned. The distinctive characteristic shared in the modes of analysis developed by Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui and Arturo Escobar is that their frameworks originate in the collective experiences of eco-social localities. These webs of relations are at once at the crossroads of larger phenomena, such as the creation of colonial economies in the Andes dating back to the sixteenth century, and the social and environmental movements led by indigenous and Afro-descendant communities in twenty-first-century Colombia. The embedded knowledges that have come out of these experiences have in turn been incorporated into anti-colonial and decolonial proposals.
