Opis

Have you ever wondered what future awaits us and our planet? No one can offer a definite answer to this question but there are possible scenarios. This book tackles the challenges posed to humanity in this day and age and beyond. Over the last years we have been observing our planet changing rapidly. Our environment has lost its balance as we are losing the rain forests, species of animals and people in effect of the natural catastrophes. What kind of a planet will our descendants inherit? Will it be a toxic and dangerous place to live in? Will the Earths inhabitants continue to be oppressed by the patriarchal regime of war and destruction? This work offers a vision of how to liberate our planet and its inhabitants from pollution and oppression and move towards a recognition that all living beings are interconnected. It provides an ideological framework which helps to understand the underlying reasons for oppression of women, animals and nature. It offers an analysis of the nature of power and domination from an ecofeminist perspective. This book is recommended to anyone who cares about the future of all life on Earth.
