SUMMARY:Three protest waves in Japanese environmentalism: Ashio\, Minamata\
 , and Fukushima
DESCRIPTION:Contact: ning.ao@ace.lu.se\n\nMy talk will discuss the history 
 of environmentalism in Japan from the vantagepoint of three famous protest
  waves - those centering on the pollution from the Ashio mine more than a 
 century ago\, the mercury poisoning of Minamata Bay in postwar Japan\, and
  the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. I will highlight how each pr
 otest wave impacted on the evolution of Japanese environmentalism\, with a
  particular focus on what happens to a movement in the wake of a protest w
 ave and on how each new protest wave refers back to\, &nbsp\;reappropriate
 s and thereby keeps alive the legacy of earlier protests.Bio: Carl Casseg

 and eco-Marxism\, and his books include Post-Apocalyptic Environmentalism:
