“…The system entails forms of bonded labor that were “more inhuman than the old system of domestic slavery.” The system also has devastating ecological effects. “Labor is,” he says, “demoralized by the herding of masses of men, recruited from the countryside, into the plantation centers….Not merely are the surrounding agriculture and stock‐raising ignored, but there is also a progressive exhaustion of the soil owing to continuous cultivation of a single crop” (Mukerjee, 1926, p. 203). He describes this as a “slow injection of poison into their system [colonized societies] by conscienceless members of civilized peoples” (Mukerjee, 1926, p. 240).…”

He describes this as a “slow injection of poison into their system [colonized societies] by conscienceless members of civilized peoples” (Mukerjee, 1926, p. 240). This was a novel conception of the social that went hand‐in‐hand with anticolonial critique.…”

“…Sociology engages with environmental ‘big issues’ at multiple levels, but, despite Radhakama Mukerjee’s (1930a, 1930b) early plea for an ecological sociology, ecology is not routinely integrated into core sociological business or across its specialisms (Macnaghten and Urry, 1998; Murphy, 1995). Indeed, concern with natural world environmental issues has been somewhat ghettoised (Grundmann and Stehr, 2010; Lever-Tracy, 2008).…”

“…This reminder is necessary because the fundamental entanglements of relational selves, social worlds, political agency and creative worldmaking are obfuscated by some sociological theorising. Having laid this aside, I indicate possibilities of deeper engagement between sociologies of personal life and environmental sociologies through overlap in their empirically grounded theoretical directions, including the renewed emphasis on relationality, interests in re-critiquing the 'individualisation thesis', efforts to transcend separation of micro-macro social worlds in usages of 'practice' and, finally, in mutual areas of concern with I/we boundaries Sociology engages with environmental 'big issues' at multiple levels, but, despite Radhakama Mukerjee's (1930aMukerjee's ( , 1930b early plea for an ecological sociology, ecology is not routinely integrated into core sociological business or across its specialisms (Macnaghten and Urry, 1998;Murphy, 1995).

“…Reducing the raven population is crucial to protecting the desert tortoise population because raven predation has been linked as a contributing factor to their decline (Boarman, 1993(Boarman, , 1997(Boarman, , 2003Kristan & Boarman, 2003). As Mukerjee (1930) so pointedly observed so many years ago, "A change in any one fact of the environment brings about a complete change in the milieu, and man is a part of the processes by which the balance of the region is maintained or shifted".…”
