OverviewAuthor Akira Furukawa argues that the mainstream of environmentalism today remains trapped within the modernist paradigm that has led to the present global environmental malaise. Through a variety of case studies, including primary research in Japan and Nepal, as well as a rich array of secondary sources, Furukawa outlines the case for 'life-environmentalism'. Grounded in an ethnographic approach that recognises that local, everyday-life knowledge - which has been widely denigrated and suppressed in the processes of modernisation - this book offers the hope of rectifying global environmental crises. Furukawa argues that slogans such as 'think global, act local' remain problematic unless we also 'think local, act local'.
