Brandon Barclay Derman: Climate Justice, Gebunden

Klappentext

Because the development of the carbon economy has always been closely bound up with the deepening of human inequalities, movements seeking climate justice need to unravel a tangle of social injustices at all scales. Through viewing the climate crisis from a range of historical and contemporary angles, Derman elevates the leadership of the most marginalized communities and nations, and interweaves their particular experiences with the universal values that bound climate justice movements together. His work is an effective introduction for educators and students to the complexities and promises of climate justice studies.

-Zoltán Grossman, Faculty in Geography and Native American & Indigenous Studies, The Evergreen State College

"Guided by a five-angle framework that aims to explore the emerging intersectionalities of space, time, difference, rule, and movement in climate justice theory and action, the book brings to light new possibilities and ways of imaging, doing, and transforming climate justice in a time of planetary urgency."

-Peter Little, author of Critical Zones of Technopower and Global Political Ecology

This book provides an analytical introduction to the complex challenge of climate change and the equally multi-faceted movement for climate justice. Its approach is empirically and conceptually rich, while remaining both accessible and engaging. Each chapter examines the topic through a different thematic lens, drawing on contemporary and landmark scholarship, advocacy, and activism across relevant disciplines and campaigns. These distinct angles build toward a comprehensive perspective that will equip readers to ably and critically engage in era-defining policy, political, governance, and scholarly debates.
