Karen Bell analyses data from seven very different countries, and points an unerring finger at capitalism as the principal cause of environmental injustice. If ever there was a fundamental point of reference, this is it.' Andrew Dobson, Professor of Politics, School of Politics, International Relations and Philosophy, Keele University, UK ""Achieving Environmental Justice is an important read for anyone wishing to develop a more critical analysis of the anti-ecological logic of global capitalism and the need for EJ movements around the world to embrace a politics of substantive environmental justice."" Dr. Daniel Faber, Director of the Northeastern Environmental Justice Research Collaborative, Northeastern University, US ""From Bolivia to the US, Karen Bell provides an impressive tour de force of the struggles of environmental justice movements."" Professor Peter Newell, Director of the Centre for Global Political Economy, University of Sussex ""A revealing snapshot of current local and global environmental justice issues in a variety of countries, a valuable contribution to what Gordon Walker called the ""international travelling of the environmental justice frame.""
