Reviews

Authors and editors are to be commended for bringing together several areas of inquiry, including environmental sociology, First Nations politics, race and ethnicity, urban sociology, rural sociology, and social movements. The collection will prove valuable to a broad range of students and researchers. -- Mark C. J. Stoddart * Canadian Journal of Sociology 35 (3) * This collection is the first major examination of the multidimensionality of environmental equity and injustice in Canada. It should appeal to scholars across a wide range of disciplines in the social and environmental sciences, to activists, and to citizens who want to make Canadian society more just and sustainable. * APADE *

Speaking for Ourselves... has profoundly shaped my thinking about the scholarly and political work being done on environmental justice issues and about the world we live in and share with other beings... This book will extend the fields of environmental justice studies and indigenous studies in new and productive ways. - David Pellow, University of California
