Book Summary
About the Book :
Based on research conducted over two decades, this accessible and deeply felt
book provides a provocative comparative history of environmentalism in two large
ecologically and culturally diverse democracies India and the United States.
Ramachandra Guha takes as his point of departure the dominant environmental
philosophies in these two countries identified as agrarianism in India and
wilderness thinking in the United States. Proposing an inclusive social ecology
framework that goes beyond these partisan ideologies, Guha arrives at a richer
understanding of controversies over large dams, state forests, wildlife
reserves, and more. He offers trenchant critiques of privileged and isolationist
proponents of conservation, persuasively arguing for biospheres
