We are pleased to announce the publication of a new book by Dr. Lydia Ayame Hiraide, a lecturer at Soka University (The Graduate School of International Peace Studies), published by the academic publisher Routledge.
Please find the details of the publication below: 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　      Title: Intersectionality and Environmental Movements: British Activism in Global Context 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    Author: Lydia Ayame Hiraide (Soka University, Japan) 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　            Series: Part of the Social Movements in the 21st Century: New Paradigms series, edited by Kevin McDonald.
This book is part of the 'Social Movements in the 21st Century: New Paradigms' series, edited by Kevin McDonald.

The book proposes a framework of ‘intersectional absences and presences’ to argue that how environmentalists understand—or ignore—intersectionality shapes their social movements in important ways. It affects how they build and communicate their political demands as environmentalists, as well as the literal spaces in which they organise. Drawing on interviews, ethnography, and archival research, it demonstrates the usefulness of intersectionality for analysing the structural relationships between discrete structures of oppression such as racism, sexism, and classism, and how political demands are built and communicated.
This book will appeal greatly to scholars, postgraduate students, and researchers in the fields of gender studies, social movements, political sociology, environmental sociology, and race and ethnicity.

The book is now available in eBook, hardback, and paperback versions. For more information, please visit the official Routledge website via the link below:
