Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) A Peoples History of Environmentalism in the United States
Book SynopsisChad Montrie isProfessor of History at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. His most recent book is Making a Living: Work and Environment in the United States (2008)Trade ReviewChad Montrie puts people back into nature in this compelling and powerfully argued portrait of the class dimensions of U.S. environmental history. Essential reading for all those interested in a bottom-up view of the environmental movement -- Karl Jacoby, Brown UniversityAn engaging, critical synthesis of 20 years of new scholarship in environmental and labor history, A People's History of Environmentalism tells a new story of the emergence and power of environmentalism as a movement forged by common people in defense of their lives and livelihoods. Countering previous arguments that environmentalism began in post-World War II middle-class suburbs, Montrie redefines environmentalism as a grass-roots, working class response to industrialization and urbanization dating from the early 19th century. From the start, this movement included workers' resistance to elite attempts to control nature both for profit and for upper-class leisure. Montrie narrates the growth of working-class environmentalism and its successes and failures from the textile mills of New England, to the Chicago streets around Hull House, to automobile plants of Michigan, to the coal mines of Appalachia, and to the agricultural fields of California, with other stops along the way. This detailed but accessible book offers a forceful new interpretation of American environmentalism and rewrites the narrative of the modern environmental movement to include the crucial role of working class men and women in the fight for a healthy environment -- Kathryn Morse, Middlebury CollegeChad Montrie's masterful book rightfully returns working peoples to the center of the story of American environmentalism. Deftly moving between time and place, Montrie's social and environmental history balances fascinating narratives with a broad overview of how the stories of millworkers, hunters, New Deal laborers, union activists, and farmworkers are intimately connected. A must-read for anyone interested in the roots of contemporary environmentalism -- Julie Sze, University of California at DavisTable of ContentsIntroduction - Shaking up what, when and why; 1. Puritan to Yankee redux: farming, fishing and our very own dark, satanic mills; 2. Why game wardens carry guns and interpretive rangers dress like soldiers: class conflict in forests and parks; 3. Missionaries find the urban jungle: sanitation and worker health and safety; 4. Green relief and recovery: by which working people and nature get a New Deal; 5. A popular crusade: organized labor takes the lead against pollution; 6. From 'no uvas' to 'no pcbs': inventing environmental justice; Conclusion - Rethinking environmentalism, past and present.

De Gruyter Mindscaping the Landscape of Tibet: Place, Memorability, Ecoaesthetics
Book SynopsisBased on the author’s cross-regional fieldwork, archival findings, and critical reading of memoirs and creative works of Tibetans and Chinese, this book recounts how the potency of Tibet manifests itself in modern material culture concerning Tibet, which is interwoven with state ideology, politics of identity, imagination, nostalgia, forgetting, remembering, and earth-inspired transcendence. The physical place of Tibet is the antecedent point of contact for subsequent spiritual imaginations, acts of destruction and reconstruction, collective nostalgia, and delayed aesthetic and environmental awareness shown in the eco-religious acts of native Tibetans, Communist radical utopianism, former military officers’ recollections, Tibetan and Chinese artwork, and touristic consumption of the Tibetan landscape. By drawing connections between differences, dichotomies, and oppositions, this book explores the interiors of the diverse agentive modes of imaginations from which Tibet is imagined in China. On the theoretical front, this book attempts to bring forth a set of fresh perspectives on how a culturally and religiously specific landscape is antecedent to simultaneous processes of place-making, identity-making, and the bonding between place and people.

Lexington Books Mapping Environmental Risk and Energy
Book SynopsisAs the rise of the Anthropocene has led to serious deliberation about how energy is best produced and distributed in a world pressured by both the depletion of natural resources and global climate change, advances in technology have enabled new systems of extracting energy like High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing (HVHF), commonly known as fracking, that complicate these discussions. In this book, Barbara George explores how citizens impacted by HVHF tell stories about environmental risks, the conflict they experience in attempting to articulate these risks, and the hope for a post-carbon future in which HVHF is banned. Deep ideologies linked to history, coal, and industry permeate areas like the Rust Belt and Appalachia and, George argues, create frames that encourage and advocate for HVHF and make it difficult for publics in these locales to find a platform to tell their stories in a meaningful way. This book offers a case study of three communities in the United States New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio and how each community frames HVHF environmental and health risks differently based on their differing sociocultural histories. Scholars of communication, environmental studies, history, and sociology may find this book of particular interest.

Lexington Books Urban Narratives about Nature
Book SynopsisIn an age in which more than half of the Earth population lives in cities, and living conditions worldwide suffer from a steady increase in environmental issues, historical inquiry provides useful reflections about vital concerns and thus new perspectives on the present. Urban Narratives about Nature: Socio-Ecological Imaginaries between Science and Entertainment aims at generating specific historical knowledge concerning processes of production, circulation, and management of natural history narratives and the associated struggles for meaning within the socio-ecological relations involved. These processes take place ultimately in the socio-cultural space of communication, where media outputs, broadly understood, account for the development and interaction of subjectivities, and the eventual creation of agent and non-agent subjects. The city is a powerful storyteller that can only be understood with the countryside through one another. Upon a relational perspective, this book provides a rather diverse while deeply interrelated collection of case studies of urban-based production and circulation of narratives about nature. Altogether, these cases probe the complex relationships among scientific authority, public awareness, policymaking, corporate and political interests, and environmental advocacy, in effect expanding the interdisciplinary linking of urban and environmental history within a global history view.

Lexington Books Encounters with the Posthuman and the Environment
Book SynopsisWith the advent of posthumanism, many scholars in the humanities have started to explore a transforming conception of the human, recognizing the limits of anthropocentricism both within and between disciplines. Posthumanism may be defined in various ways but the emphasis in this volume is on the idea of constitutive alterity, not simply in the relationship between human beings and other human beings, but in that between human beings and other species and life forms, and between human beings, nature and technology. As a result, Encounters with the Posthuman and the Environment is located at a crossover between posthumanism and environmental humanities. Between them they move not only between disciplines but also between levels of abstraction, from the most general reflection to the most everyday empirical detail. At the same time, all the chapters are case studies, whether they address particular aspects of philosophical or scientific posthumanism, analyze particular pieces of film, theatre, art, literature, or recall for us instructive episodes from social history. The aim at any rate is to give a feel for the range and depth of the posthumanist problematic within the wider context of environmental humanities.
