Description: Everyday Environmentalism : Creating an Urban Political Ecology, Paperback by Loftus, Alex, ISBN 0816665729, ISBN-13 9780816665723, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Loftus (geography, U. of London, Royal Holloway) takes part in a tradition of political ecology in arguing that the hard-and-fast, if not adversarial distinction between cities and nature is dubious. He calls for an environmental critique that foregrounds the radical potential of urban life as already both social and natural. As indicated in the title, Loftus stresses the everyday. He draws on Marx, Lefebvre, Gramasci and others' theorizing of everyday attitudes and activity to underscore an approach to environmental and social justice accessible to everyone. To this end, he applies Lukás' analysis of class consciousness to such an understanding of everyday life to show how "those involved in making urban environments through their day-to-day interactions with one another are well positioned for grasping the mutability of the current condition and for generating a transformative politics." In a more concrete chapter, Loftus considers how in post-apartheid South Africa, access to water was shaped by the role the environment played in dominant attitudes in the region. He brings this to bear on how progressive politics can and must emerge from existing worldviews. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
