The Intersectional Environmentalist: How to Dismantle Systems of Oppression to Protect

My partner enjoyed this as a gift. She loves it and has it set as a coffee table book.

Informative and amazing approach integrating activist stories and recommendations

Es wurde wie versprochen schnell und einwandfrei geliefert, zum Buch selbst kann ich nichts sagen, das war ein Geschenk.

I'm a social and environmental psychologist teaching at Chapman (Assistant Professor), where Leah Thomas got her degree from, and I am so excited to discuss intersectional environmentalism in my environmental justice class in a few weeks. Leah Thomas and crew are brilliant. I am in love with this book and framework. As a white gay/queer environmentalist who fights for all human rights, I finally feel like I have a framework for defining my own identity, and educating about what the (intersectional) environmentalist identity is. For instance, building off Susan's Clayton's definition of "environmental identity," the environmentalist identity is articulating the intersections of all issues/causes where the intersection becomes one with your identity and you actively love and protect all diverse forms of life. Coming from the academic world, we absolutely need to hear voices from younger generations of scholars and practitioners. By advocating for this *necessary* reconceptualization of environmentalism, which has historically been influenced by privileged groups dominating the discourse (e.g., liberal white cis/straight men), environmental educators can make a huge impact, not just on environmental/social issues, but particularly supporting younger generations to find and raise their voices. Thank you Leah Thomas and team! I so hope I can connect with you in the future.

Heard the author speak on NPR and I was so impressed! Went directly to Amazon to get her book and was not disappointed. She is a true champion in environmental Justice. Appreciate how the book is written with reader reflections. I share this book with the young women I mentor and youth groups.
