Trish Kahle reveals miners as forgers of a coal-fired social contract that was contested throughout the twentieth century as Americans sought to define the meaning of citizenship in an energy-intensive democracy.

This book explores the lives of women and girls working in coalmining from 1800 to 1914. Author Denise Bates investigates the historical context of female miners, inspired by her ancestor Rebecca Whitehead, who was a miner in the 1841 census. The book delves into the societal perceptions, working conditions, and legislative changes affecting women in the mining industry. Through extensive research, Bates challenges the negative stereotypes perpetuated by the 1842 Royal Commission report. The book provides a nuanced portrayal of the capabilities and resilience of these women, set against the backdrop of industrial and social change in 19th-century Britain. It is aimed at historians and readers interested in women's history and labor history.

"This book provides an in-depth, ethnography-based comparison of environmentalism in the global North and South through movement case studies situated in Australia and India. Environmentalism, consisting of a set of ideologies, politics and imperatives towards resisting environmental destruction, is known to be realised differently between movements arising from different societies within the same geography. To demonstrate this, Ruchira Talukdar investigates the similarities and differences in anti-coal environmentalism through an ethnographic study of movements in Australia and India. She not only explores the politics, narratives, strategies and dynamics within environmental movements, but also their collaboration with the issue of Indigenous lands and rights on the frontline of coal extraction in both countries. The Stop Adani movement in Australia and its collaboration with the Wangan and Jagalingou and Farmers resisting the Galilee Basin coalmines in Queensland is critically compared with an anti-coal movement of Greenpeace and local forest-based communities in Mahan in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. Overall, the book frames conceptual tools for students, research scholars and activists for intersectional environmentalism across the global North-South divide. The conclusions are particularly crucial to understand and counteract the dominance of Northern environmentalisms' perspectives and make global environmentalism intersectional, decolonial, and representative. The author's unique vantage point and work experience in environmental activism over 20 years across India and Australia, combined with an extensive and immersive ethnographic fieldwork in both countries, make this a great resource for students, scholars and practitioners with an interest in climate justice, environmental politics and environmental activism"-- Based on ethnographic and historic research in Australia and India, this book compares the politics and resistance to coal in the two countries, particularly focusing on the time period between 2009 and 2018, and the case of the Carmichael coalmine in Queensland and the Mahan coalmine in central India.
