Spanning the colonial, postcolonial, and postapartheid eras, these
historical and locally specific case studies analyze and engage
vernacular, activist, and scholarly efforts to mitigate
social-environmental inequity. This book highlights the ways poor
and vulnerable people in South Africa, Lesotho, and Zimbabwe have
mobilized against the structural and political forces that deny
them a healthy and sustainable environment. Spanning the colonial,
postcolonial, and postapartheid eras, these studies engage
vernacular, activist, and scholarly efforts to mitigate
social-environmental inequity. Some chapters track the genealogies
of contemporary activism, while others introduce positions, actors,
and thinkers not previously identified with environmental justice.
Addressing health, economic opportunity, agricultural policy, and
food security, the chapters in this book explore a range of issues
and ways of thinking about harm to people and their ecologies.
Because environmental justice is often understood as a contemporary
phenomenon framed around North American examples, these fresh case
studies will enrich both southern African history and global
environmental studies. Environment, Power, and Justice expands
conceptions of environmental justice and reveals discourses and
dynamics that advance both scholarship and social change.
