Environmentalism has come under fire from many avenues, charging that the movement has historically paid too much attention to wilderness preservation and not enough to economic and racial inequalities; while also emphasizing technological fixes over basic social and economic reforms. Price suggests that a new environmentalism is rooted in the conviction that the future health of cities and wilderness alike depends on how fairly and sustainably we use and inhabit nature in the places where people live. She explores the resurrection of the Los Angeles River as a vibrant model. The lecture took place Nov. 12th , 2007 in Love Auditorium, LSRC, Duke University West Campus. | |||||||||||||
