Dimitrios Roussopoulos Boeken
Dimitri Roussopoulos is primair een politiek activist en ecolog, wiens interesses zich uitstrekken tot schrijven, redigeren en publiceren. Opgeleid in filosofie, politiek en economie aan universiteiten in Montreal en Londen, heeft Roussopoulos consequent getracht onafhankelijk te blijven van academische kaders. Afgezien van een korte periode waarin hij lesgaf aan een school beïnvloed door de progressieve onderwijsfilosofie van John Dewey, heeft hij institutionele autonomie behouden. Zijn werk weerspiegelt een diepe betrokkenheid bij politiek activisme, ecologisch denken en onafhankelijk intellectueel onderzoek.

Exploring the legacy of the sixties, this book examines its profound influence on contemporary North American politics and culture. It delves into key events and movements from that era, highlighting how they continue to shape societal values, political ideologies, and cultural expressions today. Through a detailed analysis, the author connects past struggles for civil rights and social justice to current issues, providing a comprehensive understanding of the sixties' enduring significance.
"The new and greatly expanded edition of the 1991 classic, Political Ecology: the Climate Crisis and a New Social Agenda explains the history of environmental politics and its prospects for the future. Ecological activists, Dimitri Roussopoulos argues, aim for more than protecting the environment; they call for new communities, new lifestyles, and a new way of doing politics. Political Ecology opens by presenting the history of the state management of the environment, then moves to an overview of the great variety of popular responses to the ecological crisis, before finally discussing the main political tendencies offered by the ecology movement. The concluding sections explore prospects for channeling environmentalist aspirations into political alternatives, demonstrating a set of social ecology-inspired successes and insisting on the central role of cities to developing social and ecological alternatives. Finally, a new afterword updates the work for a post-COP21 era by critiquing the limitations of the Paris Accord. This book has been translated into Spanish, Greek, French, German and Turkish."--
