Abstract

Chapter 2 explains more on the definitions and nature of class and classism, including sections on intersectionality, microaggressions, discrimination, internalised oppression, the impacts of classism and how classism is justified. It also aims to break down some of the prevailing myths about working-class people and describe some cultural differences between working-class and middle-class people that are important when considering how to eradicate environmental classism and embrace working-class environmentalism.
