Environmental Justice and Environmentalism: The Social Justice Challenge to the Environmental Movement

“If the goals of both the environmental justice movement and the environmental movement are urgent and worth advancing, why aren’t we campaigning on them together? Sandler and Pezzullo’s timely exploration, with its well chosen chapters, pulls no punches in advocating for better ways to work together, while recognizing the crucial need to also work apart.”–Julian Agyeman, Associate Professor, Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning, Tufts University

& quot; I found this book to be provocative, well thought out, and very much worth the read. As an academic study it should spark a good deal of debate.& quot; — Penny Newman, Executive Director, Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice, Riverside, California
