Description

Environmental Justice, Popular Struggle and Community Development by Harley, Anne;Scandrett, Eurig This book explores the complex relationships between environmental justice, community development, and popular struggle. It examines how communities mobilise against powerful forces driving 'development' driven by neoliberal imperatives, often raising questions about alliances with other groups and issues of class, race, ethnicity, gender, worker/community and settler/indigenous relationships. Written by a diverse range of international scholars and activists, the contributors critique the practice of community development professionals, academics, trade union organisers, social movements and activists. They offer insights into how agency and solidarity can be fostered in these interactions, providing valuable information for those engaged in pursuing justice within the intersections of community, development and environment. By shedding light on these dynamics, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing communities in their struggles for environmental justice.
