The introductory chapter gives a brief environmental history of the
ways in which religions have shaped the socio-political and
ecological landscapes of North America, starting from the point of
English and European colonization, the genocide of indigenous
peoples, and the enslaving of black peoples, to contemporary
problems of environmental justice, climate change, and emerging
intersectional environmentalisms. Chapters explore topics including
religion and animals, indigenous language and ecology,
Petrocultures and Christianity, Asian religions, Globalization and
ethics, and environmental racism. The book is illustrated
throughout with over 95 images and each chapter provides guidance
on further reading. A glossary of key terms helps students
unfamiliar with relevant terms and concepts.
