The Intersectional Environmentalist: How to Dismantle Systems of Oppression to Protect People + Planet by Leah Thomas

4.0

A small book packed with information about how environmentalism needs to be intersectional. And how to make it intersectional; taking into account the way in which multiple forms of discrimination combine, overlap or intersect; advocating for the protection of both people and the planet.

The book is beautiful, clearly structured and full of voices. Thomas gives space for advocates from all over the world, each with a unique perspective. And that goes well in hand with the main message - encompassing all people in environmentalism. The book also offers loads of resources, which is important, as Thomas doesn’t go into environmental problems themselves, instead focusing on the approach that needs to be taken.
