N2  - This book outlines theories and practices in environmental adult education that are emerging worldwide. The need for environmental adult education arises not from a deficit platform of «lack of awareness» and «individual behavior modification» – but rather from the asset belief in an existing – if sometimes hidden – ecological knowledge of the need for a deeper sociopolitical, race, and gender analysis of environmental problems, and the power and potential of democratic participation and collective action. Authors from Canada, the Philippines, Kenya, India, Mexico, Fiji, Australia, Sudan, and the United States examine areas such as environmental racism and the legacy of colonization, self-governance and community resistance, ecological, women’s and indigenous knowledge, international development and globalization, feminist pedagogical and arts-based practices, and participatory research practice.
