Description
Environmentalism: A Global History provides a sweeping narrative of how environmental consciousness emerged and evolved across the world. Ramachandra Guha, a leading environmental historian, explores the diverse roots of environmentalism from 19th-century conservation movements to modern climate activism.
The book examines how different cultures and regions have approached environmental issues, from preservationist movements in North America to social ecology in Europe and grassroots environmental struggles in the Global South. Guha challenges Western-centric narratives and reveals how indigenous peoples and developing nations have contributed significantly to environmental thought and practice.
Through compelling case studies and historical analysis, the author demonstrates how environmentalism has intersected with politics, economics, and social justice. The work provides essential context for understanding contemporary environmental debates and the varied philosophies that shape our relationship with nature.
