Ecofeminism as Politics: Nature, Marx, and the Postmodern

Autor Ariel Salleh Cuvânt înainte de Vandana Shiva
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 aug 2017
Ecofeminism as Politics is now a classic, being the first work to offer a joined-up framework for green, socialist, feminist and postcolonial thinking, showing how these have been held back by conceptual confusions over gender. Originally published in 1997, it argues that ecofeminism reaches beyond contemporary social movement ideologies and practices, by prefiguring a political synthesis of four-revolutions-in-one: ecology is feminism is socialism is postcolonial struggle. Ariel Salleh addresses discourses on class, science, the body, culture and nature, and her innovative reading of Marx converges the philosophy of internal relations with the organic materiality of everyday life. This new edition features forewords by Indian ecofeminist Vandana Shiva and US philosopher John Clark, a new introduction, and a recent conversation between Salleh and younger scholar activists.

Recenzii

"Perhaps Zed Books, in choosing to republish her book 20 years after it first came out, understood that Salleh's Ecofeminism as Politics was ahead of its time. . . . She is accurate when she observes that patriarchy impairs both left and right political thought. Regardless of political viewpoints, men must stop treating Earth like an inexhaustible larder and learn from those who nurture life, rather than destroy it."

“Neoliberalism has not eliminated poverty, nor discrimination of women, nor exploitation of the Earth; neither economists, politicians, nor theoreticians know a way out. Marxists ignore both nature's and women's contribution to the production of wealth, but as ecofeminists show, this is the lost key to building Another World.”

“One of the most original and important thinkers in the international political ecology field. Salleh unveils the blind spot at the root of contemporary ecological and social crises and her lucid call for an ‘embodied materialism’ enlightens like no other framework I know.”

“This challenge to feminists, Marxists, and environmentalists, is sustained by a deep knowledge of struggles on the ground by women's, worker's, indigenous, and ecological groups. As integrative political actions are called for, their effectiveness depends on multi-dimensional theory; and here is Salleh’s contribution.”

“Salleh’s explanation of how ‘environmental struggle is socialist struggle is feminist struggle’ sets the standard for intersectional study of the crises we face in nature, economy and society - from global climate to household. In her praxis epistemology and labors for repair of the humanity-nature metabolism, we find the most passionate, humbling truths.”

Ecofeminism as Politics makes a powerful critique of both anthropocentrism and the androcentric thinking that permeates scholarship and activist discourses on the Left. Its social movement synthesis is an essential read for those seeking solutions to our deepening systemic crises.”

"Perhaps Zed Books, in choosing to republish her book 20 years after it first came out, understood that Salleh's Ecofeminism as Politics was ahead of its time. . . . She is accurate when she observes that patriarchy impairs both left and right political thought. Regardless of political viewpoints, men must stop treating Earth like an inexhaustible larder and learn from those who nurture life, rather than destroy it."
