Make It a Green Peace!: The Rise of Countercultural Environmentalism

20世紀60年代後期綠色和平組織從一個鬆散的反核和反捕鯨活動家群體出現，從根本上改變了環境主義的本質 - 其目的，哲學和戰術 - 在世界各地。而且，迄今為止，還沒有綠色和平起源的全面客觀的歷史。

利用會議記錄，內部通信，宣言，哲學著作和與前成員的訪談，首次充分說明了成為世界上最知名的環境非政府組織的起源。

澤爾科將綠色和平組織的複雜的知識和文化根源追溯到20世紀50年代和60年代的各種抗議活動中，強調了奎克主義的影響力 - 以其親身見證的做法 - 美洲原住民的靈性和甘地的非暴力抵抗。

介紹集團早期成員之間的關鍵運動和爭論，使其成為綠色和平！生動地捕捉了所有的戲劇，悲傷和偶爾的綠色和平組織第一個十年動蕩的漫畫。

The emergence of Greenpeace in the late 1960s from a loose-knit group of anti-nuclear and anti-whaling activists fundamentally changed the nature of environmentalism--its purpose, philosophy, and tactics--around the world. And yet there has been no comprehensive objective history of Greenpeace's origins-until now.

Make It a Green Peace! draws upon meeting minutes, internal correspondence, manifestos, philosophical writings, and interviews with former members to offer the first full account of the origins of what has become the most recognizable environmental non-governmental organization in the world. Situating Greenpeace within the peace movement and counterculture of the 1960s, Frank Zelko provides a much deeper treatment of the group's groundbreaking brand of radical, media-savvy, direct-action environmentalism than has been previously attempted. Zelko traces the complex intellectual and cultural roots of Greenpeace to the various protest movements of the 1950s and 1960s, highlighting the influence of Quakerism--with its practice of bearing witness--Native American spirituality, and the non-violent resistance of Gandhi. Unlike the more strait-laced, less confrontational Sierra Club and Audubon Society, early Greenpeacers smoked dope, dropped acid, wore their hair long, and put their bodies on the line--interposing themselves between the harpoons of whalers and the clubs of seal-hunters--to save the animals and achieve what they hoped would be a lasting transformation in the way humans regarded the natural world. And while it may not have achieved its most revolutionary goals, Greenpeace inarguably created a heightened awareness of environmental issues that endures to this day.
