Seeking Justice in an Energy Sacrifice Zone: Standing on Vanishing Land in Coast

Description: Seeking Justice in an Energy Sacrifice Zone by Julie K. Maldonado Seeking Justice in an Energy Sacrifice Zone is an ethnographic examination of the lived experience of rapid environmental change in coastal Louisiana, USA. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Seeking Justice in an Energy Sacrifice Zone is an ethnography of the lived experience of rapid environmental change in coastal Louisiana, USA. Writing from a political ecology perspective, Maldonado explores the effects of changes to localized climate and ecology on the Isle de Jean Charles, Grand Caillou/Dulac, and Pointe-au-Chien Indian Tribes. Focusing in particular on wide-ranging displacement effects, she argues that changes to climate and ecology should not be viewed in isolation as only physical processes but as part of wider socio-political and historical contexts. The book is valuable reading for students and scholars in the fields of anthropology, sociology, geography, environmental studies and disaster studies as well as public policy and planning. Author Biography Julie K. Maldonado is Director of Research for the Livelihoods Knowledge Exchange Network (LiKEN) and a lecturer in the Environmental Studies Program at the University of California-Santa Barbara, USA. She works with the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals and co-facilitates "Rising Voices: Collaborative Science with Indigenous Knowledge for Climate Solutions". Her work focuses on climate adaptation, disasters, displacement, resettlement, and environmental and climate justice. Table of Contents Introduction1. A Climate of Change2.
