Environmental Anthropology Engaging Ecotopia: Bioregionalism, Permaculture, and Ecovillages

Edited by Joshua Lockyer and James R. Veteto

In order to move global society towards a sustainable “ecotopia,” solutions must be engaged in specific places and communities, and the authors here argue for re-orienting environmental anthropology from a problem-oriented towards a solutions-focused endeavor. Using case studies from around the world, the contributors—scholar-activists and activist-practitioners— examine the interrelationships between three prominent environmental social movements: bioregionalism, a worldview and political ecology that grounds environmental action and experience; permaculture, a design science for putting the bioregional vision into action; and ecovillages, the ever-dynamic settings for creating sustainable local cultures.

Becoming sovereign: Brazil’s far-right election victory

Erik Bähre

It baffles me that the far right continues to do so well and that many seem to vote against their personal economic interests. They also cast a vote against their concerns for safety and security. They vote for someone who de facto goes against their cherished Christian agenda of family and church; they vote against their geopolitical interests and against national sovereignty too.

Images and rituals of resistance at COP30

Deborah Bronz

At the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, in Belém do Pará, my field research at the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30/UNFCCC) involved me in circumstances I could never have imagined and which led me to write this account.

A fire broke out in the tents of the Blue Zone, the area restricted to accredited delegations, and sent me running without a backward glance, dropping my field notebook with my annotations on two weeks of intense activities as I fled.

Berghahn Migration and Development Studies Collection

Berghahn Books is proud to be partnering with Knowledge Unlatched to present the Berghahn Migration and Development Studies collection. Every year we will be adding 20 front-list titles to the collection, covering the topics of international migration and movement as well as the social implications of economic and environmental change for communities. As institutions sign up for the collection and pledge their financial support, we are able to fund the cost of making the books available as Open Access.
