- Environmental Conflicts and Initiatives in Latin America and The Caribbean
468,95 kr. A war is sweeping across Latin America and the Caribbean. Not a military war but one that is punctuated by thousands of disputes over natural resources, environmental destruction, and pollution. Green Guerrillas profiles the people on the frontline of this environmental war, from indigenous groups and forest settlers to fishing communities, peasant farmers, flower workers, shanty-town activists, municipal governments, and many more. Whether urban or rural, local or national, these struggles show that defence of the environment is integral to the quest for basic human rights. Communities' imaginative and sustainable alternatives to the dominant development model are a key focus of the book's contributions. Green Guerrillas brings together leading environmental writers from both sides of the Atlantic, including Latin America. Vivid reports from the grassroots are combined with concise, hardhitting analysis of the continent's environmental movement in the 1990s.
