description “Environmental Justice in a moment of danger” is Julie Sze’s new book, published in 2020 by the University of California Press. Given the global situation, there could not have been a more appropriate title. The pandemic is only the latest of the environmental emergencies that are hitting social groups and populations in an unequal way, once again making social, economic, gender and ethnic inequalities more evident. Starting from the current pandemic and reflecting on the contents of her latest volume, Julie Sze invites readers to politicize the concept of sustainability, to go beyond a non-conflictual understanding of it and to seek ways for a radical transformation of our societies.
