Green Nation

the Irish Environmental Movement from Carnsore Point to the Rossport 5

Edición de la obra Green Nation

This book examines the social history underlying key events in the emergence of the Irish environmental movement over fourty years. From the "No Nukes" protests of the late 1970s through to the community campaign in the western region of Rossport in Mayo against an onshore pipeline and terminal, a series of social movements have emerged, based on what the author describes as an inherently derived form of 'rural sentiment'. What has resulted is an ongoing contestation between locally held moral and social valuations of community and environment by communities who oppose the infrastructural projects of corporate entities or the state across the green fields and towns of Ireland.
