Connecting the Red, Brown and Green: The Environmental Justice Movement in South Africa

The central research question this chapter addresses is whether there is a single, coherent environmental movement which is mobilising under the comprehensive banner of environmental justice and whether the Environmental Justice Networking Forum (EJNF) is its organisational expression. Answering this question involved site visits, focus groups, participant observation, interviews with 30 key informants selected for their expertise on environmental activism and a literature review of primary and secondary sources.
