Multiple jeopardies, intersectional vulnerabilities: A black feminist analysis of disasters and ecological crises in Cap‐Haïtien, Haiti

Haiti is continuously confronted with multiple environmental stresses, including biodiversity loss, deforestation, tropical storms, and flooding. These ecological threats are compounded by political instability and socio‐economic inequality, which intensify disaster and climate‐related risks. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and narrative experiences of Haitian women from river communities in Cap‐Haïtien, Haiti, I analyze how intersecting structures of racial capitalism, predatory governance, spatial marginalization, and imperial legacies produce and engender ecological risk. This article foregrounds Black feminist theory as a critical lens to examine how vulnerability is not only additive but structurally embedded. The narratives of Haitian women speak to the everyday impacts of flooding, inadequate infrastructure, and state neglect. They also offer insights into political critique. This work contributes to disaster anthropology, Black ecologies, and intersectional environmental studies by calling for critical methodological approaches and epistemologies that attend to the lived experiences and political consciousness of those most impacted by ecological crises.
