Description
Until very recently, studies of the environmental movement have been heavily biased towards the North Atlantic world. Citizens of the world's poorest regions, ran the conventional wisdom, had nothing to gain from environmental concerns; they were 'too poor to be green'.
Guha and Martinez-Alier articulate the values and orientation of the environmentalism of the poor, and explore conflicting priorities of South and North that were so dramatically highlighted at the Earth Summit.
Using a combination of archival and field data, the book presents analyses of environmental conflicts and ideologies in four continents: North and South America, Asia and Europe.
