Although modernity's understanding of nature and culture has now
been superseded by that of environmentalism, the power to define
the meaning of both, and hence the meaning of the world itself,
remains in the same (Western) hands. This bold argument is at the
center of this provocative book that challenges the widespread
assumption that environmentalism reflects a radical departure from
modernity. Our perception of nature may have changed, the author
maintains, but environmentalism remains a thoroughly modernist
project. It reproduces the cultural logic of modernity, a logic
that finds meaning in unity and therefore strives to efface
difference, and to reconfirm the position of the West as the source
of all legitimate signification.
