The Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity brings the ecological turn to sociocultural understandings of self. The editors introduce a broad, insightful assembly of original theory and research on planetary positionalities in flux in the Anthropocene – or what in this Handbook cultural ecologist David Abram presciently renames the Humilocene, a new “epoch of humility.”

Intersectional Activism in Environmental Communication explores global environmental activism around the world, from Indigenous women’s activism in Brazil and India to energy protests in South Korea, to the Dakota Access pipeline construction on Standing Rock Sioux territory, to the contours of the internet. The intersectional approach reflected in this work explores circumstances where powerful interests distract, dissuade, and undermine emergent voices and the ecological values they articulate. This volume addresses how intersectional environmental activism can effectively challenge systems and practices that perpetuate ecological degradation and environmental injustices.
