Recenzii
With
the
growing
interest
in
intersectional
theories
there
has
been
a
recent,
renewed
interest
in
ecofeminism.
This
book
rises
to
meet
this
demand
in
the
form
of
a
collection
of
essays,
which
answers
the
concern
of
essentialism
by
embracing
a
wide
range
of
scholarly
voices
from
the
field
...
engaging
and
mind-opening
...
a
must-read
for
both
feminists
and
also,
no
doubt,
for
meat-eaters.
This provocative new anthology is to be warmly welcomed for the diversity of its voices and the breadth of its critical analyses and agenda.Ecofeminismencompasses theory and lived experience at the multiple and sometimes contested intersections of gender identity, disability rights, race, and animal advocacy.
Ecofeminism: Feminist Intersections with Other Animals and the Earthboth honors the passing of ecofeminist scholar Marti Kheel and demonstrates that ecofeminism and its emphasis on care, emotion, affect, and compassion, are more relevant than ever today. The essays in this collection go far beyond the classic works in the field, addressing the history of ecofeminism, its ethical components, the nature of our relationships with other animals, and addresses issues like ableism, white supremacy, colonialism, patriarchy, heteronormativity, as well as speciesism.Ecofeminismis a must-read for both feminist and animal rights activists and scholars and is destined to become a new classic in the field.
This volume demonstrates why ecofeminism is the most important politics of our time. Richly interdisciplinary and provocative in the very best ways - at times playful and humorous too -Ecofeminismpresents fresh, invigorating and inspirational scholarship on the intersecting relationships between humankind and the other than human world. It is crucial reading for anyone who cares about making a positive difference to the well-being of this planet and its beautifully diverse inhabitants. Adams and Gruen have also produced a fitting tribute to the legacy of Marti Kheel.
In bringing together a variety of voices,Ecofeminismprovides us with valuable insights into an important approach to advocating for justice-an approach that makes fundamental connections between complex issues. As a woman of color working at the intersections of social justice, I quickly identified with many of the ideas here and felt like I was not alone. Readers will learn a lot from this empowering book.
The past three decades or so have seen the publication of a fair number of collections presenting feminist perspectives on human-animal relations. So when coming to a new volume that walks this well-traversed terrain, it's hard not to approach it with the thought that there had really better be something new here. Happily,Ecofeminismdelivers the fresh goods. . What the collection as a whole conveys, primarily, is the roots-in-the-dirt entanglement of the various strands of social life with human and nonhuman animals. With animal studies now making the transition from applied ethics to social philosophy,Ecofeminismmakes worthy contributions to an emerging and exciting literature.
