Grassroots Responses to Extractivism

Description

This volume makes visible the many innovative resistances and solutions emanating from the Global South, in response to the injustices of the current global ecological crises.

Rooted in contemporary ecological imperialism, these crises are subjecting marginalised communities in the Global South to the worst socio-ecological repercussions worldwide, whilst mainstream environmental policies and solutions reproduce market-based approaches premised on a hegemonic Western worldview.

Grassroots Responses to Extractivism details a wide variety of case studies from across Asia, Africa, and the Americas, such as deforestation activism in Cambodia and grassroots community organisation against large-scale land transactions in Liberia – among many others.

The contributors, composed of a mix of academics and activists, propose bottom-up solutions to the current ecological and climate crises. This work highlights how anti-capitalist, anti-colonial, and anti-anthropocentric alternatives and movements are realistic, holistic, and appropriate in the face of global ecological crises.
