""This book explores the concept of "dilemma action," which offers a structured, strategic approach to effective nonviolent struggle. Dilemma actions are designed to create a response dilemma or lose-lose situation for public authorities by forcing them to either concede some public space to protesters or make themselves look absurd or heavy-handed by acting against the protest." --Provided by publisher"--

Environmental Activism on the Ground draws upon a wide range of interdisciplinary scholarship to examine small scale, local environmental activism, paying particular attention to Indigenous experiences. It illuminates the questions that are central to the ongoing evolution of the environmental movement while reappraising the history and character of late twentieth and early twenty-first environmentalism in Canada, the United States, and beyond. This collection considers the different ways in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists have worked to achieve significant change. It examines attempts to resist exploitative and damaging resource developments, and the establishment of parks, heritage sites, and protected areas that recognize the indivisibility of cultural and natural resources. It pays special attention to the thriving environmentalism of the 1960s through the 1980s, an era which saw the rise of major organizations such as Greenpeace along with the flourishing of local and community-based environmental activism. Environmental Activism on the Ground emphasizes the effects of local and Indigenous activism, offering lessons and directions from the ground up. It demonstrates that the modern environmental movement has been as much a small-scale, ordinary activity as a large-scale, elite one.

What is the meaning of race, racialization and racism in Switzerland and how are they related to Switzerland's colonial heritage? How has the approach to racism changed historically? What role does anti-racist activism play, especially activism by black people and people of color? By discussing such questions, the volume shows how racism is ingrained in the structures of modern societies. As the articles show, structural and everyday racism can also be found in Switzerland in various areas of society. On the one hand, this volume offers concepts and approaches to understand processes and mechanisms of racialization. The book thus creates the basis for a critical scientific reflection on racism and the use of the analytical category race in Switzerland.
