Water Insecurity and Water Governance in Urban Kenya: Policy and Practice

Water Insecurity and Water Governance in Urban Kenya: Policy and Practice by Anindita Sarkar
English | PDF | 2022 | 192 Pages | ISBN : 3031155386 | 3.7 MB

This book explores water service provisions of the urban poor in the cities of Africa with particular emphasis on Kenya and its capital city of Nairobi. In particular the book addresses the insecurity of tenure, and how the colonial segregation of land continues to shape water access and service provision even today in Nairobi. The book seeks to understand how urban water management entails the “production of thirst” among the urban poor and documents how cultural norms, political commitments and seemingly mundane practices of water managers combine to exclude the poor from accessing water. Supporters of privatization argue that private companies may succeed where governments have failed in supplying water to the urban poor. The author takes a closer look at this argument, demonstrating the limitations of some of the current reforms whilst also exploring alternatives and solutions. This book will be an invaluable reference for students, researchers and practitioners working in this field.

Energy and Environmental Justice: Movements, Solidarities, and Critical Connections

Energy and Environmental Justice: Movements, Solidarities, and Critical Connections by Tristan Partridge
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 170 Pages | ISBN : 3031097599 | 14.2 MB

This book reconnects energy research with the radical, reflexive, and transformative approaches of Environmental Justice. Global patterns of energy production and use are disrupting the ecosystems that sustain all life, disproportionately affecting marginalized groups. Addressing such injustices, this book examines how energy relates to structural issues of exploitation, racism, colonialism, extractivism, the commodification of work, and the systemic devaluing of diverse ‘others.’ The result is a new agenda for critical energy research that builds on a growing global movement of environmental justice activism and scholarship.

English | EPUB | 2022 | 126 Pages | ISBN : 3030917894 | 1.8 MB

While there has been a surge in peer-reviewed research publications on population health in the MENA region in the last couple of decades, very few books offer a resource to address the diverse negative influences that disproportionately affect adolescents and children in the MENA region, including increased tobacco consumption culture, low emphasis on physical activity, increased sedentary behaviours, weak health policies, and societal issues related to displacement and political conflicts.
