North Americans have reached a socioenvironmental tipping point
where social transformation has become necessary to secure a stable
and desirable future. As hurricanes destroy coastal areas that once
hosted schools and homes, petroleum refineries choke nearby
communities and their parks, and pipeline construction threatens
water rights for indigenous peoples, communities are left to
determine how to best manage and mitigate environmental loss.In
this new collection, a range of contributors -- among them
researchers, practitioners, organizers, and activists -- explore
the ways in which people counter or cope with feelings of despair,
leverage action for positive change, and formulate pathways to
achieve environmental justice goals. These essays pay particular
attention to issues of race, class, economic liberalization, and
geography; place contemporary environmental struggles in a critical
context that emphasizes justice, connection, and reconciliation;
and raise important questions about the challenges and responses
that concern those pursuing environmental justice. Contributors
include the volume editors, Carol J. Adams, Randall Amster, Jan
Inglis, Eileen Delehanty Pearkes, Zo?1/2 Roller, and Michael
Truscello.
