Islamic environmentalism: activism in the United States and Great Britain - 222

'Islamic Environmentalism' examines Muslim involvement in environmentalism in the United States and Great Britain.

The book focuses upon Muslim activists and Islamic organizations that approach environmentalism as a religious duty: offering environmental readings of Islamic scriptures, and integrating religious ritual and practice with environmental action.

Honing in on the insights of social movement theory, Hancock predominantly examines the activism and experience of Muslims involved in environmentalism and bases her research on interviews with activists in the United States and Great Britain.
