Speaking for Ourselves draws together scholars and activists -- Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, established and new -- who bring equity issues to the forefront by considering environmental justice from a variety of perspectives, including those of First Nations and women, to demonstrate new ways of working toward-- environmental sustainability and social justice.--Julian Agyeman is professor and chair of the Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University.--"Speaking for Ourselves is one of the most important books I have read in a long time. It has profoundly shaped my thinking about the scholarly and political work being done on environmental justice issues and about the world we live in and share with other beings." -David Pellow, University of California, San Diego-
