Co-edited and co-authored by Carmen Gonzalez, the the Morris I. Leibman Professor of Law at Loyola University Chicago School of Law, this handbook offers critical perspectives on the multidimensional, intersectional nature of environmental injustice and the cross-cutting forms of oppression that unite and divide these struggles, including gender, race, poverty, and indigeneity. The work sheds new light on the often-neglected social dimension of sustainability and its relationship to human rights and environmental justice.
