You are invited to contribute to an edited anthology on the tradition of ecological protest in American history. The tradition of protest in relation to ecological problems remains a problematic and interesting issue in environmental history. Without rehearsing the more simplistic narratives of the rise of environmentalism in the United States, it is sufficient to note that some of the most interesting work done within the field in recent years revolves around previously unrecognized ecological protests and in communities that are typically relegated to the margins of this discussion. This collection will fill a necessary niche in American environmental history by: 1-analyzing and interrogating the traditional narratives of ecological protest in American history and 2-providing other, important stories of ecological protest that inform a broader and better understanding of American environmental history while recognizing previously marginalized protests and groups.
