Religion and Nature in North America: An Introduction - Bloomsbury Religion in North America
Laurel D. Kearns-Whitney Bauman
The introductory chapter gives a brief environmental history of the ways in which religions have shaped the socio-political and ecological landscapes of North America, starting from the point of English and European colonization, the genocide of indigenous peoples, and the enslaving of black peoples, to contemporary problems of environmental justice, climate change, and emerging intersectional environmentalisms. Chapters explore topics including religion and animals, indigenous language and ecology, Petrocultures and Christianity, Asian religions, Globalization and ethics, and environmental racism. The book is illustrated throughout with over 85 images and each chapter provides guidance on further reading.
A glossary of key terms helps students unfamiliar with relevant terms and concepts.
