Authenticity is everywhere: political leaders invoke the idea to gain our support, advertisers use it to sell their products. This cultural history of authenticity is of interest to academic and lay readers alike, who are interested in the significance and history of a concept that shapes how we understand ourselves and the world we live in.

Examines the reasons why some despair at the prospects for an ecological form of democracy, and challenges the deliberative turn in environmental political thought. This book puts forward an argument that deliberative theory, far from being friendly to the environmental movement, shackles the ability of those seeking radical change.
