“…A mounting body of literature on environmental conflict has examined the potential linkage between environmental degradation, resource scarcity, and conflict (Buchanan 2013;Farrell 2017), but arguably a significant restriction of this theory has been its inability to identify the existence of opportunities for cooperation between the actors in a coupled human-environment system (Conca and Dabelko 2002). An emergent alternative theory is that environmental degradation has the potential to lead environmental cooperation resulting in lasting peace (Conca and Wallace 2009;Ide 2017).…”

“…Based on Bean's research, we expect to find subcultural boundaries that exclude government and perceived leftist political agendas among AESGs but not CESGs. Political differences will also influence more negative views on environmentalism among AESGs, which is viewed as part of a "liberal" agenda or as an alternative sacred (Farrell 2015). Schwadel and Johnson (2017;see also Danielson 2013;Kilburn 2014;Sherkat and Ellison 2007) have demonstrated that U.S. evangelical's lack of environmental concern is related to their biblical literalism and Republican Party affiliation, even though some (younger) evangelicals may be changing, as the "greening of Christianity" thesis suggests (Clements, Xiao, and McCright 2014;Smith and Johnson 2010).…”

In this study, we examine social trust and the social attitudes of young adult evangelicals in the United States and Canada to better understand how national context shapes these attitudes. While some differences are predictable in light of national cultural differences, other differences between Canadian evangelical school graduates and American evangelical school graduates do not mirror national differences in the larger population of public school graduates. Here we suggest that differences are better understood by the ways evangelicals draw selectively from their cultural (and religious subcultural) repertoires to create unique boundaries. In general, we find lower levels of social trust and more restrictive subcultural boundaries in the United States.

“…On the surface, Bell’s account of the natural conscience runs parallel to the moral impulse of many environmental movements for preservation (e.g., Farrell 2015) or conservation (Taylor 2016) in that nature’s perceived moral purity is juxtaposed against the corruption of city life (also see Bell 2018). The similarities, however, largely end there.…”

Here, we examine the environmental embeddedness of redneck identity and politics. To do so, we use data from 22 in-depth, semi-standardised interviews and participant observation from several rural Illinois River communities whose citizens have had to confront, interpret, and adapt to the arrival of Asian carp, an invasive species that has significantly altered life in the region. Moreover, some community members now organise the 'Original Redneck Fishin' Tournament', an annual event geared toward challenging the continued invasion of Asian carp. We use this tournament as a window into the manner self-identified redneck communities negotiate the co-constitutive cultural, political, and material dynamism of local environmental relationships. Findings reveal a great diversity of nuanced ways a specifically redneck identity, politics, and environmental embeddedness build through each other, relationships that must be furthermore contextualised within broader socioenvironmental histories of state and urban interventions upon rural life.
