An Ethnography of Global Environmentalism by Caroline Gatt
This account provides an anthropological study of global environmental activism, via an in-depth ethnographic study of a transnational environmentalist federation, Friends of the Earth International. Key to this global scope is the analysis of activists' aspirations for and experiments in models for intercultural and inclusive decision-making."In this meticulously written book, crafted from nine years of ethnographic work, Caroline Gatt provides a highly original account of an activist NGO that not only tells us about what its members and supporters believe and do, but also how their actions, decisions and priorities are embedded in wider practices, processes and imaginariesThis volume is an important and timely addition to the small but growing field of anthropological studies of activism and NGOs worlds, and should be read by activists and researchers alike."
