{"product_id":"the-ecological-other-sarah-jaquette-ray-9780816511884","title":"The Ecological Other: Environmental Exclusion in American Culture","description":"With roots in eugenics and other social-control programs, modern American environmentalism is not always as progressive as we would like to think. In \u003ci\u003eThe Ecological Other\u003c\/i\u003e, Sarah Jaquette Ray examines the ways in which environmentalism can create social injustice through discourses of the body.\u003cbr\u003e Ray investigates three categories of ecological otherness: people with disabilities, immigrants, and Native Americans. Extending recent work in environmental justice ecocriticism, Ray argues that the expression of environmental disgust toward certain kinds of bodies draws problematic lines between ecological \"subjects\"--those who are good for and belong in nature--and ecological \"others\"--those who are threats to or out of place in nature. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eThe Ecological Other\u003c\/i\u003e urges us to be more critical of how we use nature as a tool of social control and to be careful about the ways in which we construct our arguments to ensure its protection. \u003cbr\u003e The book challenges long-standing assumptions in environmentalism and will be of interest to those in environmental literature and history, American studies, disability studies, and Native American studies, as well as anyone concerned with issues of environmental justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Jaquette Ray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816511888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816511884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Sarah Jaquette Ray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046522712319,"sku":"9780816511884","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82c31dea-64c1-46c6-9011-fc157c3dd098.jpg?v=1684985034","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ecological-other-sarah-jaquette-ray-9780816511884","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
