Description: In This is Our Land, environmental historian Cody Ferguson documents a little-noted but important change in the environmental movement, describing three representative grassroots groups--in Montana, Arizona, and Tennessee--whose stories show how quite ordinary citizens can band together to solve environmental problems. As they did, they redefined political participation and expanded the ability of citizens to shape their world.
Review Quotes: "The book is well organized ... its size and scope make it a useful text, particularly for environmental studies and political science courses ... Ferguson's writing enlivens the book, even while delving into technical issues."-- "The Journal of American History"
