David Naguib Pellow

What is Critical Environmental Justice?

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Human societies have always been deeply interconnected with our ecosystems, but today those relationships are witnessing greater frictions, tensions, and harms than ever before. These dynamics mirror those experienced by marginalized communities across the planet, but they also provide a foundation for transformative thinking and action to address these challenges. In this updated edition of his innovative contribution, David Naguib Pellow introduces a new framework for critically analyzing Environmental Justice scholarship and activism. In doing so he extends the field's focus to topics not usually associated with environmental justice, including policing, incarceration, the Israel/Palestine conflict, and the Black Lives Matter movement. In doing so he reveals that ecological violence is first and foremost a form of social violence, driven by and legitimated by social structures and discourses. He enriches this radical approach to Environmental Justice by drawing on Indigenous Studies, the Black Radical Tradition, Disability Studies, Queer and Transgender Studies, and Multi-Species Justice, among others. Those already familiar with the discipline will find themselves invited to think about the subject in entirely new ways. This book is a vital resource for students, scholars, and policy makers interested in innovative approaches to one of the greatest challenges facing humanity and the planet.

Rezensionen

"Asking what environmental justice could look like if we moved beyond race and class, Pellow develops a robust, 'Critical Environmental Justice Studies' framework that draws from numerous scholarly fields, which he then uses to skillfully unite issues such as Black Lives Matter, the U.S. prison industrial complex, and conflicts in Israel and Palestine."
Julian Agyeman, Tufts University

"David Pellow has once again pushed the boundaries of environmental justice scholarship with this pivotal new text. What is Critical Environmental Justice? offers a politically robust and theoretically informed way forward that enables environmental justice to be more inclusive while not losing its oppositional nature. This is the book that the environmental justice movement has been waiting for."
Laura Pelido, University of Oregon
