Reviews

From Disney amusement centers and natural history museums to Al Gore's global warming spectaculars and American national parks, Stephanie Rutherford traces out the historical contingencies behind `green governmentality.' Using this notion as her analytic of power, she develops an insightful analysis of how contemporary cultural politics and global markets help govern the wild and constitute the self in the U.S. through environmentally-driven consumer experiences. -Timothy W. Luke, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
