I consider this a must read for any teacher that is oriented towards justice, equity, and the moral good. A fantastic and thorough perspective on how environmentalism, poverty, racism and educational inequity are intertwined. Very specific and helpful tools for educators as well. I recommend this to every educator I know.

In EcoJustice Education, the authors rightly identify the ongoing environmental crisis with a broad cultural crisis in society. Employing a "cultural ecological analysis" (read green critical socio-linguistics), this text attempts to examine the relationship between anthropomorphic global climate change and a variety of interrelated socio-cultural "isms". Yet, after establishing the need for such an interdisciplinary treatment of environmental and social justice, the authors devote much of the b In EcoJustice Education, the authors rightly identify the ongoing environmental crisis with a broad cultural crisis in society. Employing a "cultural ecological analysis" (read green critical socio-linguistics), this text attempts to examine the relationship between anthropomorphic global climate change and a variety of interrelated socio-cultural "isms". Yet, after establishing the need for such an interdisciplinary treatment of environmental and social justice, the authors devote much of the book to familiar discussions of androcentrism/sexism, classism, racism, globalization/enclosure, and learning from indigenous communities, leaving critical environmental connections out in the cold; while these discussions are essential to a critical dialogue on education and environmentalism, the evidence and arguments provided by the authors fall short of their aims to comprehensively invite environmental education into the field of social justice education. In short, in EcoJustice education readers will learn broadly, if not deeply, about social justice, but walk away foggy as to the connection between the origins of traditional "isms" of Western culture and the environmental issues which now beset society.

The book contains many good reports from and ideas of community building activities. While that itself is nice, the book's narrative is couched in a weird, earth-centric quasi-religious context which I simply could not swallow. Thus, caveat emptor.
