This collection explores how North American communities respond to escalating environmental crises and social inequality. As climate disasters and industrial projects threaten homes, health, and Indigenous rights, contributors–ranging from scholars to activists–examine how people cope with despair, mobilize for change, and pursue environmental justice. The essays address race, class, and geography, and emphasize justice, connection, and reconciliation as essential elements in forging a more equitable and sustainable future.
