Routledge Earth First: Anti-Road Movement - Radical Environmentalism

Earth First: Anti-Road Movement is a comprehensive academic study first published in 1999 that traces the origins and history of anti-roads activism in Britain from the 1880s onwards. This Routledge publication provides detailed accounts of major ant-road campaigns across the UK and internationally, including confrontations at Twyford, Newbury, Glasgow and the Autobahn in Germany. The book documents the globalisation of Earth First!, featuring information on protests in Australia, Ireland, Germany, France, Holland, Eastern Europe and North America. By connecting green social and political theory to practical struggles, this work offers essential insights into how radical environmentalism has shaped social movements and environmental activism across decades and continents.
