Today, we face some of the greatest environmental challenges in
global history. Understanding the damage being done and the varied
ethics and efforts contributing to its repair is of vital
importance. This volume poses the question: What can increasing the
emphasis on the environment in environmental anthropology, along
with the science of its problems and the theoretical and
methodological tools of anthropological practice, do to aid
conservation efforts, policy initiatives, and our overall
understanding of how to survive as citizens of the planet?
Environmental Anthropology Today combines a range of new
ethnographic work with chapters exploring key theoretical and
methodological issues, and draws on disciplines such as sociology
and environmental science as well as anthropology to illuminate
those issues. The case studies include work on North America,
Europe, India, Africa, Asia, and South America, offering the reader
a stimulating and thoughtful survey of the work currently being
conducted in the field.
