Summary

Ecofeminism as Politics is a landmark work that pioneers a unified framework integrating green, socialist, feminist, and postcolonial ideas through the lens of ecofeminism. Ariel Salleh argues for a political synthesis of ecology, feminism, socialism, and postcolonial struggle, addressing complex discourses on class, science, the body, culture, and nature. The work includes a fresh introduction, forewords by notable ecofeminists Vandana Shiva and John Clark, and a contemporary dialogue between Salleh and emergent scholar activists.

Description

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.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

A powerful scholarly work that continues to influence debates on inequality, ecology, and justice, praised by the Journal of World-Systems Research. Adam David Morton highlights Salleh's groundbreaking dialectical approach as essential reading for challenging capitalism. Anthropologist Arturo Escobar commends the book's unveiling of the root causes of ecological and social crises through an 'embodied materialism' framework. The book is also recognised for its strong critique of anthropocentrism and androcentric thinking prevalent in leftist scholarship and activism.
