Gabriel Ignatow is lecturer in the department of sociology and anthropology at Bar-Ilan University.
This volume provides an overview of environmental movements away
from the western core of environmentalism. It should provide new
insights to sociologists, geographers, political scientists and
environmental studies researchers.
*Gabriela Kütting, Rutgers University*
The environment movement has expanded dramatically around the
world, penetrating all sorts of national societies. As it has
gained size and strength, it has transcended its original bases in
science, and found new bases in all sorts of ethnic and religious
and cultural identity groups around the world. Gabriel Ignatow
impressively traces this change with quantitative data and with
detailed qualitative accounts. He shows convincingly the kinds of
diversity within and between countries that result as
environmentalism has been incorporated in and adapted to highly
variable local contexts.
