| Abstract | "By the 1980s, runaway pollution south of Leipzig spurred grassroots ecology: locally resonant environmental campaigns that negotiated impervious authoritarian structures. Local devastation symbolized East Germany's incapacity for environmental, economic, and political change. Amid Reunification, local activists teamed up with Western assistance to transform the region into a symbol of hope"-- Provided by publisher. |
