| Sumario: | Everyday Envirnomentalism develops a conversation between marxist theories of everyday life and recent work in urban political ecology, arguing for a philosophy of praxis in relation to the politics of urban environments. Grounding its theoretical debate in empirical studies of struggles to obtain water in the informal settlements of Durban, South Africa, as well as in the creative acts of insurgent art activists in London, Alex Loftus builds on the work of key marxist thinkers to refine "environmental politics". A marxist philosophy of praxis that world-changing ideas emerge from the acts of everyday people undergirds the book. |
