SUMMARY:Mass Historical Society: Surviving the 1970s: The Case of the Friends of the Earth
DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Jennifer Thomson</strong>, Bucknell University<br>Comment: <strong>Chad Montrie</strong>, University of Massachusetts—Lowell</p><p>How did environmental politics survive the de-regulation, economic crisis, and nativism of the 1970s? What compromises did environmental activists make? This paper engages with these questions through the fractious history of the environmental organization Friends of the Earth (FOE). Founded in 1969, FOE’s first decade illuminates how the political and economic changes of the 1970s impacted, limited, and ultimately gave shape to the parameters of mainstream environmentalism.</p><p><a href="mailto:seminars@masshist.org" target="_blank" title="Please click here to RSVP">Please RSVP</a><span class="other_guest">  </span><span class="other_guest">Seminars are free and open to the public; <a href="mailto:seminars@masshist.org" target="_blank">RSVP required</a>.<br><a href="https://www.masshist.org/calendar/seminars/environmental-history">Subscribe</a> to receive advance copies of the seminar papers.</span></p><p><span class="other_guest">For more information see the <a href="https://www.masshist.org/calendar" data-url="https://www.masshist.org/calendar">MHS website</a>. </span></p>
