| Description: |
This book offers a new perspective on the debate around development, ecology, and their associated political struggles in the global south by examining the ways in which grassroots movements are rethinking the divides between state and citizen, public and private, and rural and urban. |
| Synopsis: |
What does it mean to be an ecological citizen in the global south? While citizens in the global north are urged to go 'green' and reduce their ecological footprint, how are those in the global south adapting to save their homes, livelihoods and rights in the face of ecological and economic upheaval? Ecological Citizenship in the Global South offers a timely and innovative perspective on the debate around development, ecology, and their associated political struggles in these rapidly changing societies. It seeks to reframe this debate by shifting its focus from the 'sustainable development' of the global south to an understanding of new notions of 'ecological citizenship'. Bringing together both emerging and established scholars through essays encompassing the politics and sociology of agriculture, water rights, waste management and pollution in Africa, Asia and the Americas, the book issues a bold and original challenge to the simplistic portrayal of those involved in ecological movements as either the passive victims of neoliberal development or as reactionary agents of 'anti-development'. |
