All We Want is the Earth : Land, Labour and Movements Beyond Environmentalism Paperback / softback
by Patrick (Maynooth University) Bresnihan, Naomi (University of Bristol) Millner
Paperback / softback
Description
Sixty years ago, an upsurge of social movements protested the ecological harms of industrial capitalism.
In subsequent decades, environmentalism consolidated into forms of management and business strategy that aimed to tackle ecological degradation while enabling new forms of green economic growth.
However, the focus on spaces and species to be protected saw questions of human work and histories of colonialism pushed out of view. This book traces a counter-history of modern environmentalism from the 1960s to the present day.
It focuses on claims concerning land, labour and social reproduction arising at important moments in the history of environmentalism made by feminist, anti-colonial, Indigenous, workers’ and agrarian movements.
Many of these movements did not consider themselves ‘environmental,’ and yet they offer vital ways forward in the face of escalating ecological damage and social injustice.
