The Struggle for Ecological Democracy: Environmental Justice Movements in the United States
Editorial Reviews
The Boston Book Review
Excellent....Faber's own contributions enable the reader to understand not only the political dynamics that led to the environmental justice movement, but the wider framework of global capitalist development....The anti-capitalist politics of The Struggle for Ecological Democracy stem not from some atavistic attachment to an outmoded vocabulary of political radicalism, but are a clear-headed response to the facts about who is actually determining the quality of the water we drink and the air we breathe
Review
"This collection of twelve articles provides a provocative profile of the environmental justice movement throughout the United States. These prominent contributors have produced a compelling narrative of how environmental injustice affects people of color and low-income groups. It reveals the questionable practice of market forces and how they impact human and nonhuman life. It chronicles culture, race and class issues and the critical role of women and their contribution to the movement. People are making a difference. It urges and supports the democratic participation of a broad spectrum of groups interested in making communities safe, nurturing, productive and just. This book is of utmost importance, and should be read by everybody who is concerned about these issues." --Bunyan Bryant, School of Natural Resources & Environment, University of Michigan
"This important book is essential reading for people who want to understand both the root causes of the U.S. environmental crisis, and the vigorous leadership of those fighting for environmental justice." --Joshua Karliner, TRAC--Transnational Resource & Action Center Corporate Watch, San Francisco, CA
