..."�a� provocative and original account..." --NEW YORK REVIEW OF
BOOKS
Originally published in 1993, Forcing the Spring was quickly
recognized as a seminal work in the field of environmental history.
The book links the environmental movement that emerged in the 1960s
to earlier movements that had not previously been defined as
environmental. It was the first to consider the importance of race,
ethnicity, class, and gender issues in the history and evolution of
environmentalism.
This revised edition extends the groundbreaking history and
analysis of Forcing the Spring into the present day. It updates the
original with important new material that brings the book's themes
and arguments into the 21st century, addressing topics such as: the
controversy spawned by the original edition with regard to how
environmentalism is, or should be, defined; new groups and
movements that have formed in the past decade; change and
development in the overall environmental movement from 1993 to
2004; the changing role of race, class, gender, and ethnicity in
today's environmentalism; the impact of the 2004 presidential
election; the emergence of "the next environmentalism."
Forcing the Spring, Revised Edition considers environmentalism as
a contemporary movement focused on "where we live, work, and play,"
touching on such hot-button topics as globalization, food,
immigration, and sprawl. The book also describes the need for a
"next environmentalism" that can address current challenges, and
considers the barriers and opportunities associated with this new,
more expansive approach.
Forcing the Spring, Revised Edition is an important contribution
for students and faculty in a wide variety offields including
history, sociology, political science, environmental studies,
environmental history, and social movements. It also offers useful
context and analysis for anyone concerned with environmental
issues.
