How do racism, classism, and sexism impact current environmental "events" in the
Caribbean? [provide a country case study]- use The Dominican Republic.
The environmental happenings in the Caribbean, particularly those in the Dominican
Republic, have been significantly influenced by racism, classism, and sexism. These many
kinds of discrimination have frequently been the cause of marginalized communities being
disproportionately harmed by environmental degradation and lacking access to resources and
chances for protecting the environment.
Thesis statement: In the Dominican Republic, racism, classism, and sexism have
contributed to environmental injustices, as marginalized communities have been
disproportionately affected by environmental degradation and have had limited access to
resources and opportunities for environmental protection.
One study by the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo found that racial
discrimination has led to Afro-Caribbean communities in the Dominican Republic facing
higher levels of environmental pollution and a lack of access to clean water, sanitation, and
other basic environmental services (Kettler, 357). These communities, which are often
located in informal settlements or areas with low political representation, have been
disproportionately affected by the negative impacts of industrialization and other forms of
development.
According to the findings of the study, Afro-Caribbean people have been subjected to
discrimination on a systematic level, which has led to unequal access to environmental
resources and a lack of recognition of their rights on the part of the Dominican government.
