Review
For too long the official left has ignored, even attacked ecology. We should be grateful to Derek Wall for his book, The Rise of the Green Left. It is time to recognise that the rights of people rest on the rights of Mother Earth. And this book helps us move in that direction. (Vandana Shiva, Director of the Foundation for Science, Technology, and Ecology, New Delhi; author, activist, and winner of the Alternative Nobel Prize )
There is no one more tuned in to the great range of struggles for ecosocialism across the world and more capable of presenting them in practical and down-to-earth terms than Derek Wall. (Joel Kovel, author of The Enemy of Nature (2nd Edition, 2007) )
With our planet in the grip of a severe environmental crisis we should never tire of seeking fresh alternatives. And, with so many our environmental problems being caused and sustained by an unrelenting demand for economic growth, Derek Wall’s The Rise of the Green Left sets out a new political agenda of huge significance. Highly recommended. (Caroline Lucas, MP, Leader of the Green Party )
Easily the most important book on this subject – The Rise of the Green Left provides an essential guide for anyone interested in how politics and ecology can come together to solve the most pressing issues of our times. It's important that the ideas in this book get the maximum attention and coverage! (Salma Yaqoob, Leader of the Respect Party, UK )
Mandatory reading for social, labor, and environmental activists and every concerned person, perhaps no place more than in the politically circumscribed and insular United States. The growth of the global Green Left is hopeful news and coming just in time. (Howie Hawkins, co-founder of the Green Party in the United States and editor of Independent Politics: The Green Party Strategy Debate )
A guide to activism and a manifesto that deserves to be read by everyone who wants a better world. Wall's insightful work clearly shows what ecosocialism is, how it has grown and how it can mount a real challenge to capitalist ecocide. (Ian Angus, editor of ClimateAndCapitalism.com; author of The Global Fight for Climate Justice )
For some years now I have been following the prolific writing and political organizing of Derek Wall, a trailblazer of the Green Left in the UK. The Cochabamba People's Climate Summit held this April is evidence of the accelerated coming together of ecological and social activists. Derek Wall has done us all a great service by documenting this urgently important development in world politics. (Derrick O'Keefe, Co-Chair Canadian Peace Alliance and Contributing Editor to SocialistVoice.ca )

When I first became political in the early eighties the left tended to be very dismissive of the environmental movement. In many ways the situation has improved, but there is still a lot of distrust between socialists and greens. However a younger generation, unburdened by the baggages of the past and angered by the injustices of capitalism, are instinctively on the left and environmentally aware. There is now a great opportunity to build a new ecosocialist movement.
Derek Wall has done a great job in mapping out the current thoughts and concerns of the green left and the reason both left and green need each other if we are to create a better world. Wall also shows how this separation of the economy and the environment, and the belief that the natural world is something to be controlled by man for his own benefit is relatively new on the socialist left. He reintroduces us to great men like William Morris and Edward Carpenter and explains why their ideas need to be studied again today. Wall is clearly influenced by the US eco-marxist John Bellamy Foster and through his work demonstrates the relevance and importance of Karl Marx and the need to divorce the man from much that describes itself as marxism. He shows how the crisis of our planet is tied completely to the capitalist system and how the economy cannot be ignored by greens just as the environment cannot be ignored by socialists. Wall also demonstrates how ecosocialism is vibrant in Latin America and playing an important role in challenging US hegemony in the region.
Ecosocialism is a new and growing movement and Derek Wall has given us a tremendous introduction.
