Beskrivning

The contributors to this book represent a wide breadth of scholarly approaches, including law, social and environmental science, engineering, as well as from the arts and humanities. The chapters explore what environmental violence is and does, and the variety of ways in which it affects different communities. The authors draw on empirical data from around the globe, including Ukraine, French Polynesia, Latin America, and the Arctic. The variety of responses to environmental violence by different communities, whether through active resistance or the creative arts, are also discussed, providing the foundation on which to build alternatives to the potentially damaging trajectory on which humans currently find themselves. This book is indispensable for researchers and policymakers in environmental policy and peacebuilding. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Recensioner i media

'The volume provides significant and stimulating scholarship in the wider field of the environmental humanities. Its most striking feature is its ambition to fruitfully critique past and current phenomena while formulating actionable solutions to issues pertaining to environmental violence. In this regard, the volume will be of interest to not only environmental scholars but also activists and stakeholders looking to engage with each other on scientific, social, and policy scales. As such, the volume is exemplary of increased (and welcome) engagement of the humanities and the social sciences with communities and policymakers for improved impact.' Manon Raffard, Ecokritike
