Rezensionen

"This volume is a welcome contribution to EJ studies and EJ history that will serve scholars across many disciplines, including history, sociology, environmental studies, Indigenous studies, Black studies, and Latin American studies...The chapters will bolster and reinforce lecture materials. Each chapter is readable and clearly argued and has an engaging mix of historical content, historiographical context, and contemporary framing."
