In Igniting a Revolution: Voices in Defense of the
Earth, editors Steven Best and Anthony J. Nocella,
II have compiled what they believe is a “book to help
make history” (p 24). Weighing in at a hefty 441 pages,
this collection brings together over 40 perspectives that
represent what Best and Nocella have termed ‘revolutionary
environmentalism.’ Poets, activists, theorists,
and former and current prisoners who were convicted
of ecoterrorism write with a passionate intensity and
open anger about the “menacing foes [that] are part of a
coherent system rooted in the global capitalist market...
that consumes, entraps, or kills everything in its path”
(p 8). The fundamental challenge this unique collection
poses for someone of an environmental/social justice
bent is: given the pace of environmental destruction and
the depth of global social injustice, what are you really
willing to do to change the world?
