Eco-sufficiency and Global Justice: Women Write Political Ecology - Edited by Ariel Salleh
As the twenty-first century faces a crisis of democracy and sustainability, this book brings academics and alternative globalisation activists into discussion.
Through studies of global neoliberalism, ecological debt, climate change, and the ongoing devaluation of reproductive and subsistence labour, these uncompromising essays by internationally distinguished women thinkers expose the limits of current scholarship in political economy, ecological economics, and sustainability science.
With in-depth analyses of climate change, MDGs, financial meltdown, and new theoretical concepts for understanding humanity-nature links, this books is essential reading for students of political economy, ethics, global studies, sociology, women's studies, geography and environmental science.
"Inspired by the diversity and pluralism of ecofeminism [this book] is a must read for anyone committed to building alternatives." –VANDANA SHIVA, Director of the Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology, New Delhi; author, activist, and winner of the Alternative Nobel Prize.
"By far and away the best collection of ecological feminist writing I have found." –RICHARD NORGAARD, Professor of Energy and Resources, University of California, Berkeley
"The lessons from this outstanding book are clear. Economic and ecological practices conducted by women and other marginalised groupings must be recognised as a source of new theoretical understandings, critical for social and environmental justice to be achieved." –PETER DICKENS, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, University of Cambridge
"These new and incisive perspectives put forth a transformative agenda for global justice. And in doing so, the collection draws all of us – activists and academics – closer to a common political denominator in the search for a true alternative to globalisation." –LIM LI CHING, leading international biodiversity activist, Third World Network, Kuala Lumpur
