Introducing The Ecocentrists: A History of Radical Environmentalism

This week, we’re featuring our newest releases on the topic of climate change. Today’s book excerpt comes from The Ecocentrists: A History of Radical Environmentalism, by Keith Makoto Woodhouse. A nuanced history of radical environmental thought and action in the late-twentieth-century United States, The Ecocentrists explores how radical environmentalists challenged the material and philosophical basis of industrial civilization, while glossing over the ways economic inequality and social difference defined people’s different relationships to the nonhuman world. A groundbreaking intellectual history of environmental politics in the United States.
