AB  - A few years ago, while attending the weekly meeting of a social
movement in an industrial city in southern Italy, I was struck by the comment
of one of its leaders, who pointed to “the environmental issue” as the “real
ground of class struggle.” I was struck by this rare reference to “class.” In this
paper, I explore the implications of that claim in the socio-political context of
a city ridden by a profound socio-economic crisis and severe issues of
environmental degradation. The paper explores how the class dimension of
environmental struggles is reflected in the discourses and practices of the
movement. Starting from the hypothesis that the movement pursued a ‘class
politics’ without a ‘class language,’ I examine their attempt at rephrasing
‘class struggle’ on the ground of popular ecologies and the rearticulation of
the relationship between ‘labour,’ ‘environment’ and social reproductive
politics.
