Been Brown So Long It Looked Like Green to Me: the Politics of Nature By Jeffrey St. Clair Click here to purchase. Award-winning investigative journalist Jeffrey St. Clair presents a shocking look at the war on the home front: the battle against the Earth. From the ancient forests of Oregon to the toxic wasteland of Cancer Alley, St. Clair exposes the convergence of forces that drive the exploitation of the environemnt: corrupt politicians, greed-obsessed corporadoes, apathetic bureaucrats and complicit media, owned and funded by the very same businesses profiting from the ruination of the natural world. St. Clair shows how the compromises of the Clinton era, from the hollowing of the Endangered Species Act to loosening of rules on toxic chemicals, opened the floodgates for the wholesale rape-and-pillage of the Bush years. Unsparing, yes. But not hopeless. From Apaches in Arizona fighting the Vatican's telescope on their sacred mountain to tree-sitters in the California redwoods, St. Clair chronicles the vibrant new movement confronting the forces of despoilation at every turn, united in their demand for environmental justice.
