Hegemonic green philosophies have historically been dominated by accounts centring the views and experiences of (well to do) white people in the Global. This article partly addresses this by examining both the politics and language of intersectionality in environmentalism. In doing so, it speaks to debates about intersectionality as marrying theory and practice – to form praxis – in social movements by providing an analysis of ‘intersectional absences’ in modern British environmentalism. It asks: Where does intersectionality not speak in the context of British environmentalism? How can we characterise and explain these absences? What effects might these absences have on the ways that British environmentalist discourses are formed and put into practice? What do they say about the relevance of intersectionality to British environmentalism? Proposing a typology of intersectional absences (ignorance, strategic, and strategic), it argues that intersectionality – as a framework and vocabulary – can help us to understand and deepen environmentalist discourse, strategy, and praxis in Britain today.
