While I find this part of his argument convincing, there are also aspects of “the national question” and “sovereignty” that remain problematic and unresolved in his account. Using an anti-imperialist framework, Ajl insists that calls for climate justice must include the controversial notions of reparations and climate debt. What the book contributes to the growing list of Green New Deals is a strong focus on eco-internationalism, something the author finds lacking across the climate movement. In an accessible, condensed fashion, the author provides a comprehensive survey of the nuanced issues a red-green alliance must confront and resolve. Max Ajl’s new book for those who complain that there is no clearly defined ecosocialist manifesto, Max Ajl, author of A People’s Green New Deal(Pluto Press, 2021), attempts to fill that void.
