The Environmentalism of the Poor has the explicit intention of helping to establish two emerging fields of study – political ecology and ecological economics – whilst also investigating the relations between them. The book analyses several manifestations of the growing ‘environmental justice movement’, and also of ‘popular environmentalism’ and the ‘environmentalism of the poor’, which will be seen in the coming decades as driving forces in the process to achieve an ecologically sustainable society. The author studies, in detail, many ecological distribution conflicts in history and at present, in urban and rural settings, showing how poor people often favour resource conservation. The environment is thus not so much a luxury of the rich as a necessity of the poor. It concludes with the fundamental questions: who has the right to impose a language of valuation and who has the power to simplify complexity? Joan Martinez-Alier combines the study of ecological conflicts and the study of environmental valuation in a totally original approach that will appeal to a wide cross-section of academics, ecologists and environmentalists.

"This ground-breaking book makes visible the global counter-movement for environmental justice. Combining 500 in-depth empirical analyses of environmental conflict with expansive theorising in ecological economics and political ecology, Joan Martinez-Alier reveals that though grassroots movements for socio-economic sustainability are deeply diverse, there are profound global patterns of environmental action and empowerment. Using rich personal and community stories of conflict drawn from the Atlas of Environmental Justice, Martinez-Alier analyses the commonalities shared by environmental defenders and offenders respectively. Each narrative is set within a cohesive framework, emphasising the diverse vocabularies, iconographies, and valuation languages of poor and indigenous activists without losing sight of the global scale of climate action and biodiversity loss. Revealing the circularity gap at the centre of the industrial economy, the book focuses on the frontiers of commodity extraction and waste disposal. Alongside exploring diverse geographies of resistance and protagonists of conflict, chapters delve into commodity extraction, corporate irresponsibility, unequal trade, and feminist neo-Malthusianism. Land, Water, Air and Freedom will be essential reading for students and scholars of environmental social sciences and humanities, anthropology, geography, international relations, and ecology. It will also guide activists seeking to understand their place in the movements for environmental justice and environmental sustainability"--
