Unsettling Sustainability Environmental Politics, Everyday Practices and Translocal Lives

Why are the voices most shaped by climate change the least heard in sustainability debates? This groundbreaking book explores sustainability issues through the lived experiences, practices and knowledge of Somali and Pakistani diasporic communities in the UK.

Drawing on seven years of research, it challenges dominant ideas of the 'green consumer' and shows how people called 'migrants' bring rich, translocal insights into sustainable living. By presenting what participants say about their everyday practices, memories of homelands and faith-based motivations, it argues for a more inclusive vision of environmental sustainability. It is essential reading for anyone seeking fresh perspectives on environmental and climate justice in diverse, multicultural societies.
