By examining Europe and its global entanglements between the 15th and 17th centuries, this essay brings early modern ecocriticism into dialogue with premodern critical race studies. The authors consider The Tempest, Jonson’s Masque of Queens, and early modern recipe culture all as important sites for unlearning. They argue that environmental, racial, and social justice are mutually constitutive and require interdisciplinary methods to purposefully unsettle established disciplinary boundaries.
