| Description: |
This is an exploration of the philosophical and political challenge of ecofeminism. It shows how the ecology movement has been held back by conceptual confusion over the implications of gender difference, while much that passes in the name of feminism is actually an obstacle to ecological change. |
| Synopsis: |
Why is an alliance between ecology, peace, feminism, socialism and postcolonial movements so slow in coming? In this extraordinary polyphonic text, Ariel Salleh tells us why. Informed by a critical postmodern reading of the Marxist tradition, her ecofeminism integrates discourse on science, the body, culture, nature and political economy. Salleh is know internationally for her gender critiques of ecopolitics. Here she explores the philosophical challenges of ecofeminism, and shows how confusion over the implications of 'difference' has held back radical change. The book opens with an account of the so far invisible history of ecofeminist politics; the second part establishes ecofeminism's status as an embodied materialism; while part three argues that a way forward exists in the common agency of women's and indigenous struggles. Salleh carries the terms of political argument to a new plane; the analysis provided an antidote to neoliberal complacency; and is as essential for activists in an era of globalization as it is for scholars of social theory, women's studies, environmental and postcolonial studies. |
