Sixty years ago, an upsurge of social movements protested the
ecological harms of industrial capitalism. In subsequent decades,
environmentalism consolidated into forms of management and business
strategy that aimed to tackle ecological degradation while enabling
new forms of green economic growth. However, the focus on spaces
and species to be protected saw questions of human work and
histories of colonialism pushed out of view. This book traces a
counter-history of modern environmentalism from the 1960s to the
present day. It focuses on claims concerning land, labour and
social reproduction arising at important moments in the history of
environmentalism made by feminist, anti-colonial, Indigenous,
workers’ and agrarian movements. Many of these movements did not
consider themselves ‘environmental,’ and yet they offer vital
ways forward in the face of escalating ecological damage and social
injustice.
