What Would Nixon Do?:The Forgotten Republican Roots of American Environmentalism’
People Involved
Project Description
At a critical juncture in environmental history, when conventional warnings are dismissed by conservative voters as ‘fake news’, the research will engage with conservative and Republican traditions by asking: ‘What Would Nixon Do?’ The study will examine the Nixon presidency and its remarkable environmental advances using Native American Indian Federal history as a lens. It will bring together archives new to scholarship in order to foreground a conservative revolution in environmental protection and Native rights that today is downplayed by the Trump administration. The resulting interdisciplinary book will influence a spectrum of interests that are currently conducting separate conversations.
