Journal of Environment and Culture
Journal of Environment and Culture is
being promoted as the leading voice on environmental
issues in Africa, as the foremost forum of intense,
engaging, and challenging debates on how culture
and environment can be mutually complementary,
and as such the acclaimed site of critical intervention
on practices of, and discourses on, global cultural
processes. The primary function of the journal
is therefore to open a channel for debate on the
interactive nature of culture and environment
and how humanity fair within the dynamics of the
intellectual, economic and political exchange
in which such interaction are framed locally and
globally.
The birth of the journal is informed by the need to respond to a perceived danger which threatens the foundation of humanism as presently articulated by modernity, and which could have serious implications for the relational patterns between, and amongst individuals, communities and nations in the near future. From all that is evident, Africa is particularly within the cutting edge of this danger, and Nigeria may have slipped into its grinding mill as citizens organize one form of protest or the other.
