Environmental Ethics for a Postcolonial World

Reviews / Votes

A clear articulation and synthesis of emerging themes within environmental ethics, bioethics, ecofeminism, and globalization studies....Curtin's work serves as an excellent segue between many of these fields while reminding us of the important role of history within ethics. -- Megan Wade Antieau * The Journal Of Religion * Environmental Ethics for a Postcolonial World by Deane Curtin opens a discussion that is timely and relevant to contemporary environmentalism. This book avoids the trap of narrowly defined environmentalism by linking environmentalism to progressive ideals, while maintaining that an ethic that marries environmental and social justice claims does not weaken both. -- Dustin Mulvaney * Environmental Ethics * Curtin's discussion of Tarzan alone makes this book worthwhile for courses in environmental studies, and in sociology, literature, or philosophy courses with an environmental emphasis. -- M.
