Abstract

This book provides a systematic overview of the first 10 years of post-apartheid environmental politics. It explores a range of conceptual and practical questions such as: How does environmental justice relate to issues of marginalization and poverty in South Africa? How do race, class, and gender intersect in the South African environmental context? It offers a benchmark analysis of the environmental justice movement today as well as an assessment of where it may be headed in the future.
