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.
Foreword by: Vandana Shiva, Professor John Clark
