Environmental Justice, Popular Struggle and Community Development: Rethinking Community Development

Contemporary struggles for environmental justice often revolve around a small band of focused individual uniting against powerful forces of neoliberal development. In mobilizing this way, insular communities are often forced to face hard questions on issues of class, race, ethnicity, and gender. Environmental Justice, Popular Struggle and Community Development explores these dynamics from an international perspective, finding within them unseen opportunities for agency and solidarity. Written by a wide range of international thinkers, this book critiques the ingrained practices of community development professionals, academics, union organizers, and activists, pointing the way toward more just methods of building communities and consensuses for environment change.
