This volume marks fifty years of the Chipko movement, one of India’s most influential environmental movements. Discussing its impact, influence and afterlife in contemporary Indian environmental policies, global cultural narratives and thought, the volume offers a ring-side view of the movement from personal, academic, activist and critical perspectives. The essays explore Chipko's core themes of environmental justice, community, rebellion and feminism that resonate through literature, art, cinema and philosophy in India and across the world.
