Recent debates concerning Anthropology's engagement with
environmentalism contend that an invigorated approach is needed to
strengthen the presence of the discipline in this field. This work
aims to discuss certain issues raised by these debates. Namely,
that an anthropological approach to culture, discourse and ideology
offers the study of environmentalism a perspective not readily
afforded by other disciplines. It is an ethnographic study of the
Irish Green Party based on twelve months of fieldwork conducted
between 1996 and 1997 and its focus is the creation and maintenance
of identity within the Party during this period. Particular
attention is paid to the socio-cultural, historical and political
context in which the Irish Green Party has evolved and the way in
which these contextual factors affect the Party's members
perceptions of their role as environmental activists. The work
discusses ways in which members of the Party came to be involved in
environmental activism and presents them as intellectuals
participating in a distinctive intellectual community within the
sphere of environmentalism.
