Reviews

In Changing it All, Malin and Kallman provide a sophisticated and nuanced explanation of the persistent and inequitable nature of environmental crises, and they introduce us to a compelling array of social movements working to create more just, sustainable communities. --Jill Harrison author of From the Inside Out: The Fight for Environmental Justice within Government Agencies


This brave volume posits an environmental sociology that stands in for all of sociology to press for collective well-being. The authors support those who bridge the gap between scholarship and activism, and their wonderful case studies of community activism, many involving Indigenous people, merge the gritty world of organizing and with the thoughtful ideas of social science. It's a delight to read and an important vehicle for change. --Phil Brown Northeastern University In Changing it All, Malin and Kallman provide a sophisticated and nuanced explanation of the persistent and inequitable nature of environmental crises, and they introduce us to a compelling array of social movements working to create more just, sustainable communities. --Jill Harrison author of From the Inside Out: The Fight for Environmental Justice within Government Agencies
