<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This book examines the dynamics of agency and solidarity in the ways in which community, development and environment interact in the pursuit of environmental justice.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Struggles for environmental justice involve communities mobilising against powerful forces which advocate 'development', driven increasingly by neoliberal imperatives. In doing so, communities face questions about their alliances with other groups, working with outsiders and issues of class, race, ethnicity, gender, worker/community and settler/indigenous relationships. Written by a wide range of international scholars and activists, contributors explore these dynamics and the opportunities for agency and solidarity. They critique the practice of community development professionals, academics, trade union organisers, social movements and activists and inform those engaged in the pursuit of justice as community, development and environment interact.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Anne Harley is a Lecturer in Adult education and development at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
