It is also its least sustainable one, sprawling over a thousand square miles, with a population of four and a half million, minimal rainfall, scorching heat, and an insatiable appetite for unrestrained growth and unrestricted property rights. In Bird on Fire, the eminent social critic and analyst Andrew Ross focuses on the prospects for sustainability in Phoenix -а city in the bull s eye of global warming-and also the obstacles that stand in the way. Most of the focus on sustainable cities has been on places like Portland, Seattle, and New York that have excellent public transit systems and relatively high density. But Ross contends that if we can t change the game in fast-growing, low-density cities like Phoenix, the whole movement has a major problem. Drawing on interviews with two hundred influential residents-state legislators, urban planners, developers, green business advocates, civil rights activists, energy lobbyists, and solar entrepreneurs-Ross argues that if Phoenix is ever to become sustainable, it will occur more through political and social change than through technological fixes. Ross explains how Arizona s increasingly xenophobic immigration laws, science- denying legislature, and growth-at-all-costs business ethic have perpetuated social injustice and environmental degradation. But he also highlights the positive changes happening in Phoenix, including the Gila River Indian Community s successful struggle to win back its water rights and beat back the ever-thirsty development community. Ross argues that this victory may serve as a new model for how green democracy can work, redressing the claims of those who have been aggrieved in a way that creates long-term benefits for all. Bird on Fire offers a compelling take on one of the pressing issues of our time-finding pathways to sustainability at a time when governments are either unable or unwilling to fulfill their responsibility to address climate change. is Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University. He is the author of Fast Boat to China, The Celebration Chronicles, Nice Work If You Can Get It, and No-Collar.
