Opis

Practicing Feminist Political Ecologies explores the latest thinking on feminist political ecology. Included is a collective critique of the green economy, an analysis of the post-Rio+20 UN conference debates, and a nuanced study of the impact that the current ecological and economic crisis will have on a diverse range of women and their communities. By including such well-known contributors as Dianne Rocheleau, Catherine Walsh, and Christa Wichterich, along with an upcoming generation of new activist scholars, it fills the gap in the literature on the relationship between the environment and gender.
This timely and important book launches the Zed Books Gender, Development and Environment series and puts feminist political ecology securely on the map, making it an important new contribution to environmental studies."
