This is a great introduction into the intersectional environmentalism movement. I really enjoyed the content and substance of the book. Some of it was review, but a lot of it was new. It’s a breath of fresh air compared to so much of the climate doomerism often seen.

Wanted to love this book, and I really liked it, but I was hoping for quite a bit more depth into all of the topics discussed. Feels better suited as an introductory/complementary book for a class, especially with the prompts included in each chapter. She provides great lists of resources though that I hope to delve into soon!

This book really is a primer on the topic, it's a bit bloated with names for the length of the book in my opinion but if you're new to questions of intersectionality it's a good and welcoming place to start. It's unpretentious and endeavors to be easily understood so you won't need a dictionary to understand what you're reading.

this book was phenomenal. a wonderful jumping off point into intersectional environmentalism. Leah Thomas calls to light the absence of some of the most important perspectives in the environmental movement and how to take steps to ensure it's intersectional. in this book she presents cases about environmental injustices, which communities are the most negatively impacted by non-renewable energy and also communities that are negatively impacted by renewable energy.
at the end of the book she provides a full toolkit with continued readings, podcasts, documentaries, as well as further acknowledging the leaders of these movements.
i highly recommend that everyone reads this book but especially if you are already passionate about the environment and climate change.
