Edited by Stefan Bouzarovski, School of Environment, Education and Development, The University of Manchester, UK, Sara Fuller, School of Social Sciences, Macquarie University, Australia and Tony G. Reames, School for Environment and Sustainability, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, US‘Handbook on Energy Justice<i> is an accomplished work that surveys the literature on energy justice and moves it forward. The volume is sophisticated and academic, but it never forgets the practical concerns of the real world, and it will be an indispensable companion for academics and practitioners.’</i>
- Leonard M. Livingstone, The Energy Journal,
<i>’The </i>Handbook on Energy Justice<i> offers a rich collection that both consolidates the field and pushes its boundaries in new and interesting ways, drawing together multiple and divergent accounts of the possibilities and challenges of energy justice as a concept and call to action. A much-needed compass for our challenging times.’</i>
- Harriet Bulkeley, Durham University, UK,
The Handbook illuminates the rapidly expanding and diversifying scholarly domains where energy justice has developed to date. Chapters provide an overview on energy justice issues across a range of socio-technical and political contexts, including differences along lines of race, gender, age, geography, housing, socio-economic status and infrastructure. The Handbook further incorporates non-Western perspectives to expand the transitional vocabulary and frameworks of energy justice.
Grounded in empirically rich case studies from across the world to support nuanced framings, situated methods and informed policy, this Handbook will be of interest to students of development, human geography, environmental policy and politics. It will also be useful to practitioners working in international organisations and agencies working in development and the environment.
