Environmental justice and environmentalism: The social justice challenge to the environmental movement

This book critically examines the concept of environmental justice and its intersection with social justice. It challenges the traditional environmental movement by arguing that environmentalism must also address issues of inequality, particularly the disproportionate impact of environmental degradation on marginalized communities. The author explores how social justice concerns, such as race, class, and gender, are often ignored in environmental policies. The book emphasizes the need for a more inclusive and equitable approach to environmentalism, where all communities, regardless of their socio-economic status, are considered in environmental decision-making and policy development.
