Volume 20, Issue 4, November 2025

Latin American and Caribbean Ethnic Studies (LACES) is a cross-disciplinary venue for quality research on ethnicity, race relations, and indigenous peoples. It is open to case studies, comparative analysis and theoretical contributions that reflect innovative and critical perspectives, focused on any country or countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, written by authors from anywhere in the world. In a context in which ethnic issues are becoming increasingly important throughout the region, we are seeing the rapid expansion of a considerable corpus of work on their social, political, and cultural implications. The aim of the Journal is to play a constructive role in the consolidation of this new field of studies and in the configuration of its contours as an intellectual enterprise.

Editors, Jean Muteba Rahier and Nancy Postero with financial support from LACC, the issue is dedicated to rethinking environmental justice in, of, and from Latin America.
