Reseña del libro "environmental politics and liberation in contemporary africa (en Inglés)"

this book is the first of its kind to explore the intricate relationship between liberation movements and environmental struggles in contemporary africa. it is premised on the question why some movements are called `environmental and others `liberation. what socioeconomic and political circumstances lead to the making or dissipation of such distinctions? common among african liberation movements is the promise to offer alternative political order and livlelihood possibilities. the prominence of the environment (land, water, forests, oil, minerals, etc.) in the political objectives of most african liberation movements leads salih to argue that in africa - as well, probably, as in other developing countries - the distinction between environmental and liberation struggles is apparently superfluous. liberation, in this broader perspective, therefore offers and all-encompassing emancipatory political potential that transcends the environment to include the laudable quest to transform the state and the authoritarian institutions of government that sustain it. the book also explains the role of local/international ngo partnerships with african liberation movements in extending humanitarian as well as advocacy support to the victims of state oppression.
