Energy and Environmental Justice: Movements, Solidarities, and Critical Connections

Autor Tristan Partridge
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 oct 2022
This book reconnects energy research with the radical, reflexive, and transformative approaches of Environmental Justice. Global patterns of energy production and use are disrupting the ecosystems that sustain all life, disproportionately affecting marginalized groups. Addressing such injustices, this book examines how energy relates to structural issues of exploitation, racism, colonialism, extractivism, the commodification of work, and the systemic devaluing of diverse ‘others.’ The result is a new agenda for critical energy research that builds on a growing global movement of environmental justice activism and scholarship. Throughout the book the author reframes ‘transitions’ as collaborative projects of justice that demand structural change and societal shifts to more equitable and reciprocal ways of living. This book will be an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and practitioners interested in transforming energy systems and working collectively to build just planetaryfutures.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Energy and Environmental Justice has forced me to completely rethink energy justice from the ground up. Tristan Partridge has produced a highly original volume that will breathe new life into the field and will set the tone for the next generation of scholars.”
David N. Pellow, author of What Is Critical Environmental Justice?
“Partridge’s synthesis is incredibly important, and usefully explains what justice, transition, and degrowth means grounded in everyday struggles.”
Julie Sze, author of Environmental Justice in a Moment of Danger.
“This concise handbook should be required reading for every student in environmental studies and related fields. It helpfully reconnects energy research with the radical perspectives, activist roots, Indigenous insights, and key concepts required for building the future we need.”
Corrie Grosse, author of Working across Lines: Resisting Extreme Energy Extraction.
