This book foregrounds concerns with social justice against the environmental and aesthetic ones that have traditionally shaped our national parks and asks us to reconsider what these parks might come to mean in the future.
Margret Grebowicz is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Goucher College.
"Grebowicz seeks to trouble our understanding of what a national park is and the work it does, on the land, culturally, and politically. Very much like William Cronon's seminal essay, 'The Trouble with Wilderness,' it seeks to open up the complexities too neatly bounded within and obscured by what we think when we think of a 'national park.' Her book fills a need for a creative, imaginative, accessible, and provocative text that engages critical debates in the environmental humanities."
