Review of Environmental Justice, Popular Struggle and Community Development

Bell, Karen

Abstract

Environmental Justice, Popular Struggle and Community Development provides a global view of how these ways of achieving change can reinforce each other. It is comprised of case examples from around the world, including Canada, Palestine, South Africa, Ireland, Slovakia, India and Colombia. From a political economy theoretical framework, the book analyses environmental struggles in terms of actors, power, interests and strategies, including for building new alternatives. The analysis uses tools drawn from Marxism, ecofeminism, political ecology and anticolonialism among a range of emancipatory schools.
