How do various worldviews, praxis orientations, and preferred
future visions differ between the three major subcultures within
the American Green Movement? Drawing on his experience as an
activist, Kenn Kassman explains the distinctions between the three
elements, which he terms Neo-Primitivism, Mystical Deep Ecology,
and Social Ecology. What emerges is a perceptive analysis of one of
the most important of North America's new social movements: the
Greens. Kassman examines and contradistinguishes the approach of
each element in the movement to the general Green
agenda--ecological harmony, social justice, societal participation,
and nonviolence--and goes on to explore potential weaknesses in the
utopias they seek. The study concludes with the author's considered
view of the likely progress and development of the three components
in the future. He asks and suggests an answer to the question:
what, ultimately, will be regarded as the political and social
significance of the Green movement? Kassman's work will be of
interest to scholars, students, and activists in politics and
environmental studies.
