Description: A new wave of grassroots environmentalism is building in the United States. Groups that have traditionally been at the periphery of mainstream environmentalism - poor people, working people, and people of color - are fusing the fight for a healthy environment with historical struggles for civil rights and social justice.

This timely book brings together leading scholars and activists to provide an ecosocialist perspective on the goals, strategies, and accomplishments of the environmental justice movement, and to explore the emerging principles of ecological democracy that undergird it. It is essential reading for anyone who holds out the hope for lasting solutions to America's social and ecological crises.
