Populism, Eco-populism, and the Future of Environmentalism (eBook, ePUB)
Populism, Eco-populism, and the Future of Environmentalism analyzes the history and language of populism in order to fully comprehend the threat of eco-fascism - paradoxically revealing that it is possible for there to be both progressive eco-Populist and right-wing sham eco-Populist discourses. The book highlights the harrowing prospect that the crises of democracy now confronting countries such as the United States may culminate in forms of eco-fascism in a world increasingly divided over issues of economic and social inequality, immigration, and competition for dwindling resources. The author reveals that there is a language of eco-populism that accompanies Populist and sham Populist discourses of the left and right as ecological crises have assumed a more prominent role in national and global politics. These crises are exacerbated by the willingness of the fossil fuel industry to destabilize democracy in order to forestall government-imposed limits on carbon emissions and elimination of fossil fuel subsidies that threaten their profits. The book, primarily a work of political and ecological theory, draws on the history of populism as well as the history of conservation and modern environmental movements to make an innovative argument - that a radical form of right-wing sham eco-populism that emerged out of the crucible of the energy crisis and recession of the 1970s has substantially contributed to the crises we now face. The author maintains that the only plausible solution to current political and ecological crises is a progressive eco-populism that combines environmental justice and sustainability with economic and social justice, and offers resources that can help construct a democratic and inclusive movement and culture. A progressive eco-Populist vision has led to proposals for a Green New Deal and the development of the Build Back Better Act currently being considered by the U.S. Congress, but the stalemate between progressive and conservative Democrats over the bill reveals both the compromised state of U.S. representative democracy and the need for a stronger movement to hold politicians and government accountable. This book will be of great interest to students, scholars, and researchers of environmental politics, environmental history, and environmental philosophy, as well as sociology, political science, and history.- Shop: buecher

Akashic Traveler
Stardancer has listened to and studied electronic music since 1997. Inspired by artist like Bluetech, Zero One, Current and Mars Lasar, his debut album Akashic Traveler is created in a minimalist downtempo style designed to combine urban beats with ethnic and ambient soundscapes, creating a chilled sensual groove that, momentarily, transports the listener to a place some call a Solid Groove.. The Akashic Traveler Designed to forestall Mondays, the Akashic Traveler is created for that space between the freedom of Friday and the inevitability of next week. Holding on to the throbbing urban beat, yet smoothing out the edges into a palatable after hours, non-demanding kick backed space. The brief intro, River Styx, echoes of strange yet familiar places you know you have been before. Like a door opening, you are invited to step inside your own personal groove and ride the powerful yet gentle rhythms to the peaceful places within you. This is what chilling out is suppose to feel like, no bumps or hairpin turns just the smooth rocking beat that allows you to observe the landscapes of life around you. Ambient sounds roll gently over you, sounds that are mystically strange, yet somewhere you have heard them before. As your groove deepens, the past, the present, and the future meld into a comprehensive singularity. You are the Akashic Traveler...........just chillin! Stardancer currently lives and creates his music in Hilton Head Island South Carolina.- Shop: odax
