One of the best books about environmental and labor activism
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is one of the greatest stories about environmental activism and support for loggers' and women's issues. Judi Bari was able to do what few democratic activists do; support the workers of the very companies she protested. She knew the struggles of loggers as well as the issues of exploiting nature and the environment for unbridled greed. One of the reasons that she was so successful as an activist was that she was able to bring together so many diverse people and issues. So few activists are aware of women's issues and the sexism inherent in many organizations. And yet she was able to look realistically at the limitations of the organizations around her and speak out for the rights of all. Her inclusiveness, bravery, and ability to organize people to come together for peaceful, non-violent protests was one of her amazing legacies. This book tells the story of that legacy and gives insight into one of the most profound and remarkable environmental activists of our time.
No Compromise!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Earth First! is explicitly not an "organization" as the Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. person says, it is a Movement. Nor was it ever discredited. Judi Bari's contribution to the Movement was extending it beyond matters purely ecological, into women's rights & pro-choice activism for example.
From the Front Line of the Timber wars
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Fine reading, gripping testimonial from a woman who worked at the front lines of forest defense. Judi Bari, who died this past spring, probably had a greater impact on the modern environmentalism of the American west than any other single individual of recent years. Find out how.
