Summary

The notion of environmental justice rises from the recognition that environmental resources are not equally available. Furthermore, environmental risks affecting certain social groups are unequally distributed as well.

Frequently discussed in research work in the north, the analysis of environment-related criteria of justice or injustice, such as access to water, mineral extraction or the recognition of local communities, has been very little studied in Africa. Yet, many African territories undergo unrestrained development to support their rapid growth and respond to development challenges that affect the environment of local populations. The theoretical, methodological and empirical contributions presented in this book allow us to identify environmental justice issues beyond traditional perspectives, demonstrating how the historicity of the relations of domination between different types of actors in Africa is a crucial variable in apprehending the notion of justice.

This book is aimed at researchers interested in the issues of socio-environmental justice in the southern countries, NGOs fighting against this injustice, students in social sciences and land development, as well as donors financing infrastructure and facing growing opposition from local or international actors.
