OverviewThis book investigates the broader climate movement to contextualise the role played by its climate justice wing, focusing specifically on the theoretical and practical contributions of ecosocialists. Ecosocialism and Climate Justice provides an account of the shift from the Holocene to the Anthropocene in the context of the global spread of capitalist relations of production. Croeser begins by critically analysing the root causes of anthropogenic climate change and identifies the origins and development of the current climate movement within civil society. She then focuses on the climate justice movement, analysing the ways in which anthropogenic global warming may be challenged in a way that is socially just. Overall, this book provides further insight into the effectiveness of ecosocialist theory and activism in the context of existing global, national and local power relationships. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate justice, climate politics, critical global political economy studies and environmental activism.

Prospects for Climate JusticeReviewsEve Croeser presents a compelling case for an emancipatory project for climate justice and eco-socialism. Mobilising Marxist political-economy and an ecological neo-Gramscianism, her rigorous, accessible and elegantly written book should help inspire the activism needed to save the biosphere and for eco-socialism to triumph over capitalist barbarism. -- Adrian Budd, Associate Professor, London South Bank University, UK Empirically rich and analytically deft in its account of the rise of both the Anthropocene and global capitalism, Ecosocialism and Climate Justice probes the pitfalls of mainstream institutional responses to the climate crisis, and points the way toward the socially just alternative that is so urgently needed. - William K.
