Contending that culture lies at the root of our current planetary
and civilizational crisis, this book uniquely explores the nature
of the specifically cultural dimensions of that crisis and how
culture relates to the areas of politics, policy, economics,
ecology and the whole discourse of sustainability. It debates how
profoundly our world is shaped by capitalist culture, emphasizing
the import of political culture and policy, social justice,
leadership and community in the shaping of a new cultural
sustainability. It also reintroduces questions of religion, art,
citizenship and comparative culture into the sustainability debate
and suggests ways in which the central issue of consumer culture
can be rethought and others in which socially satisfactory
transitions to a sustainable future might be achieved. Addressing
the specific role of culture in our crisis and of how to build
cultural resources for transition, this cutting edge text provides
the reader with an introduction to the literature on culture and
sustainability, and both practical and theoretical tools for
creating and advancing a humane and ecologically responsible
future.
