Abstract
Beginning with analysis of seminal works in Latine ecotheologies from both South and North American perspectives, this essay argues that Laudato si' serves as a major inflection point in Latine articulations of ecotheologies. Despite Latine marginalization in commentary on Laudato si', the publications that have emerged unveil a rich discourse among Latines and our allies about the encyclical. This work, the essay demonstrates, deepens Latine theological reflections on family, community, gender, and indigeneity along with the Catholic social principles of justice and solidarity. Finally, the essay explores the emerging Latine discourse on ecological solidarity and its promise for unearthing conceptions of relationship that are more robustly committed to ecological advocacy that is anti-racist and oriented toward the disruption of unjust systems and practices that harm both the earth and the poor.
