Nazi Ecology
Book •
Mark Musser's 'Nazi Ecology' investigates the historical connections between ecological thought and National Socialism, arguing that some environmentalist ideas have roots in earlier German nationalist and völkisch movements.
The book uses extensive footnoted research to chart intellectual lineages and shows how nature-worship and 'blood and soil' concepts influenced policy in Nazi Germany.
Musser also considers how these themes resurfaced in postwar environmental movements.
The work aims to complicate assumptions about the purely progressive origins of modern ecology.
It has sparked debate among scholars about how to contextualize environmentalism’s intellectual history.
