Visiting literary, historical, and cultural examples from the 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century to the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e, contributors examine notions of the \u003cem\u003ecommon\u003c\/em\u003e-namely, \"common humanity, common wealth, and common ground\" as foundational to concepts of global citizenship, civil society, and cosmopolitan democracy. The book engages in scholarly ecological analysis via the lens of various human groups-ethnic, racial, gendered, coalitional-that are shaping twenty-first century environmental experience and vision and contributing to new concepts of citizenship and belonging. Diverse human groups are mobilizing around new concepts of ecological citizenship and belonging catalyzed not only by nuclear meltdowns, oil spills, hurricanes, climate change, and histories of privilege or social and environmental injustice, but by hopes for a common future that will ensure the right of both humans and the more-than-human world to exist, maintain, and regenerate life cycles and evolutionary processes. The collection illustrates how each of us, as members of diverse groups and as inhabitants of planet Earth have a stake in imagining and producing a common future. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joni Adamson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415628237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415628235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Joni Adamson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153003950335,"sku":"9780415628235","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d344858e-3760-418b-a053-ee89b61cba4a.jpg?v=1770780639","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-studies-ecocriticism-and-citizenship-joni-adamson-9780415628235","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
