- Summary:
- "Intersectional Activism in Environmental Communication explores the communication and representation of environmental activism through channels such as news media, social media, and on-the-ground protests, and as performed by various actors, groups, and institutions around the world. The collection centers intersectionality in analyzing how activists' multiple, marginalized identities shape and are shaped by the political and social terrain of environmental activism. Intersectionality can be a site of conflict where powerful interests find leverage to distract, dissuade, and undermine emergent voices and the ecological values they articulate. The chapters in this volume address how intersectional environmental activism can effectively challenge systems and practices that perpetuate ecological degradation and environmental injustices. From Indigenous women's activism in Brazil and India to energy protests in South Korea, and from the Dakota Access pipeline construction on Standing Rock Sioux territory to the contours of the Internet, this edited collection offers critical reflection points for the representation of environmental activism and proposes several perspectives from which to consider and theorize the various channels and audiences for embodied and mediated environmental communication"-- Provided by publisher.
