The recent Oxford University Press,
Stewarding the Earth: Rethinking Property and the Emergence of Biocultural Rights seeks to theorize some of the most significant experiences of Natural Justice
since its inception. Written by Kabir Bavikatte, a co-founder and former member
of Natural Justice, the book makes a strong case for the right to stewardship
of Nature through biocultural rights.
Weaving a fascinating tapestry of law,
economics, anthropology and philosophy, Kabir maps and argues for biocultural
rights of communities through compelling examples of environmental agreements,
legislation, judicial decisions, and community practices. While most books on
environmental jurisprudence tend to be expensive and dense tomes directed at
academia, Kabir has made good on his promise of writing a low-cost, engaging
book that theorizes the work of Natural Justice and its partners. Informative
and stimulating, Stewarding the Earth is bound to have a profound impact on the
environmental lawscape.
