Description
"The book examines how ecoterrorism is discursively constructed, looking at the rhetoric of alarm about "ecoterrorism" and the institutions that promote this. It describes police undercover operations to entrap activists and to present them as dangerous and violent. It also describes how left-wing activism in general (as well as the predominantly nonviolent practices of animal activists) is readily described as terrorism while extreme violence, including murder, on the part of right-wing groups is overlooked. The book considers the recent case of the "range war" declared by Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy, examining its connection to white supremacist militia movements and conspiracy theories about a one-world socialist order imposed by the United Nations and discussing it as propaganda in a campaign by wealthy welfare ranchers such as the Koch brothers to privatize public land."--
