Defending Creation: The Call to Ecomartyrdom in the Americas

Elizabeth O’Donnell Gandolfo's book, Ecomartyrdom in the Americas, explores the lives of "ecomartyrs" who have sacrificed their lives defending vulnerable environments and communities in Latin America.

The review discusses Gandolfo's perspective on eco-justice as an extension of Christian martyrdom, highlighting the growing relevance of environmental protection within faith-based activism. By reflecting on figures like Sister Dorothy Stang, Gandolfo connects these sacrifices to the larger struggle for social and environmental justice.
