‘A mass of original, cutting-edge research intended to demonstrate the numerous intersections between inequalities and environmental harms. The book’s 32 chapters, which are of uniformly high quality and written by both established and emerging scholars, are efficiently organized into nine parts covering theoretical traditions, rights, race/ethnicity, gender, the economy, the state, climate, natural resources, and food insecurity. .... in its length and global coverage, this handbook is a monumental achievement.’
