Description
The Intersectional Environmentalist: A Call to Action for a Sustainable Future This book offers a powerful primer on intersectional environmentalism, exploring the intricate links between environmentalism, racism, and privilege. Leah Thomas, a prominent voice in the field, argues that the fight for the planet is inextricably linked to the fight for civil rights, and that one cannot exist without the other. By examining the disproportionate impact of environmental injustices on Black, Indigenous, and people of color, Thomas shows how privilege and systemic oppression are deeply entrenched in our environmental systems. This book is a call to action, a guide to instigating change, and a pledge to work towards the empowerment of all people and the betterment of the planet.
