Clayoquot
& Dissent
Edited by Ronald Hatch
With essays by Tzeporah Berman, Maurice Gibbons, Gordon Brent Ingram,
Christopher Hatch, Loÿs Maingonhere
Six of BC's foremost
environmentalists — including Tzeporah Berman and Chris Hatch — offer well-documented essays that illuminate the issues behind the
Clayoquot protests of 1993. The analysis reveals the lack of a
scientific basis for forestry decisions, explains why Canada's forests
continue to be destroyed, and proposes alternatives. Also discussed
are the creation and philosophy of the Peace Camp and the
radicalization of the public in response to the cutting of ancient
forests. Photographs included.
