Exploring Environmental Violence

Perspectives, Experience, Expression, and Engagement

Exploring Environmental Violence: Perspectives, Experience, Expression, and Engagement
“There must be change in how humans are living and interacting with each other and our environments – and collectively with the global ecosystem.”

The contributors to this book represent a wide breadth of scholarly approaches, including law, social and environmental science, engineering, as well as from the arts and humanities. The chapters explore what environmental violence is and does, and the variety of ways in which it affects different communities. The authors draw on empirical data from around the globe, including Ukraine, French Polynesia, Latin America, and the Arctic. The variety of responses to environmental violence by different communities, whether through active resistance or the creative arts, are also discussed, providing the foundation on which to build alternatives to the potentially damaging trajectory on which humans currently find themselves. This book is indispensable for researchers and policymakers in environmental policy and peacebuilding.
