Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"David Naguib Pellow is a first-rate scholar, and this rich, carefully-researched book demonstrates that fact. His refusal to march lock-step with any given theoretical perspective but, rather, to employ a variety of them to illuminate his data (data from diverse sources) makes this effort all the more impressive. In numerous places I found myself admiring his insights into a movement I have studied for decades." —Rik Scarce, Skidmore College
"A must read for scholars interested in repression, radical movements, and ethics."—Mobilization
"An important work for social movement scholars, for those theorizing environmental-social connections, and for those interested in genuine democracy and the movement toward total liberation from socioecological injustices. It is a critical but hopeful work from a scholar dedicated to making such liberation more thinkable."—American Journal of Sociology
"One of the most authentic accounts of the sunless side of what is widely known as ecoterrorism."—CHOICE
"Total Liberation sets a standard by which future research can be judged."—Antipode
