About the Book:
Sustainability for the Forgotten examines the question of how the sustainability movement can re-center itself to bring the most vulnerable among us into its fold. Its publication is an opportunity to engage faculty, students, and the interested public on its core themes of environmental and social justice, and the role of the sustainability movement in advancing sustainability for the forgotten. With examples that range from the coffeelands of El Salvador to the coal country of American Appalachia, from the streets of Detroit to refugee camps in Greece and the upscale metro centers of the affluent, the book is meant to be a provocative statement on the future of sustainability and a call to action that is ultimately hopeful.
