'In a fiesty attack on the view of feminism and environmentalism as single issue, postmodern, disconnected movements, Ariel Salleh convincingly argues that ecofeminist politics will be the strongest force in the world against environmental depredation, economic exploitation and cultural globalisation...Salleh develops her arguments at several levels of analysis and with a wealth of empirical material.'Juan Martinez-Alier'I place Ariel Salleh's scholarship in the front rank with work of other socialist ecofeminists such as Vandana Shiva or ecofeminists generally like Rosemary Ruether and Susan Griffin' - Max Oelschlaeger'A theoretically challenging book which contains a wealth of empirical evidence.' - Futures'Passionately written, well researched and sweeping in its theoretical scope. In particular, Salleh's integration of Marxist theory pushes some of the intellectual boundaries of ecofeminism ...there is something refreshing about Salleh's inclusionary politics' - Women's Review of Books'A significant work... an important contribution to ecofeminist discourse.' - Economic and Political Weekly'A nascent political economy... a unique and powerful explanatory position' - John Barry, Environmental Politics, One of the most original and important thinkers in the international political ecology field. Salleh unveils the blind spot at the root of contemporary ecological and social crises and her lucid call for an 'embodied materialism' enlightens like no other framework I know., The combination of eco-socialist, feminist and decolonial perspectives is analytically and politically thrilling. Ecofeminism as Politics offers an integrative understanding of our world, its multiple processes and crises, and possibilities for change., One of the most original and important thinkers in the international political ecology field; Ariel Salleh unveils the blind spot at the root of contemporary ecological and social crises and her lucid call for an 'embodied materialism' enlightens like no other framework I know., Ecofeminism as Politics makes a powerful critique of both anthropocentrism and the androcentric thinking that permeates scholarship and activist discourses on the Left. Its social movement synthesis is an essential read for those seeking solutions to our deepening systemic crises., I place Ariel Salleh's scholarship in the front rank with the work of other socialist ecofeminists such as Vandana Shiva or ecofeminists generally like Rosemary Ruether and Susan Griffin., Ecofeminism as Politics makes a powerful critique of both anthropocentrism and the androcentric thinking that permeates scholarship and activist discourses on the Left. Its social movement synthesis is an essential read for those seeking solutions to our deepening systemic crises., This challenge to feminists, Marxists, and environmentalists, is sustained by a deep knowledge of struggles on the ground by women's, worker's, indigenous, and ecological groups. As integrative political actions are called for, their effectiveness depends on multi-dimensional theory; and here is Salleh's contribution., 'The combination of eco-socialist, feminist and decolonial perspectives is analytically and politically thrilling.

Ulrich Brand, political scientist, University of Vienna, and co-author of T heorizing the Imperial Mode of Living 'Neoliberalism has not eliminated poverty, nor discrimination of women, nor exploitation of the Earth; neither economists, politicians, nor theoreticians know a way out. Marxists ignore both nature's and women's contribution to the production of wealth, but as ecofeminists show, this is the lost key to building Another World.'

Synopsis
Ecofeminism as Politics is now a classic, being the firstwork to offer a joined-up framework for green, socialist, feminist andpostcolonial thinking, showing how these have been held back by conceptual confusionsover gender. Originally published in 1997, it argues that ecofeminism reachesbeyond contemporary social movement ideologies and practices, by prefiguring apolitical synthesis of four-revolutions-in-one: ecology is feminism issocialism is postcolonial struggle. Ariel Salleh addresses discourses on class,science, the body, culture and nature, and her innovative reading of Marxconverges the philosophy of internal relations with the organic materiality ofeveryday life. This new edition features forewords by Indian ecofeministVandana Shiva and US philosopher John Clark, a new introduction, and a recentconversation between Salleh and younger scholar activists., Exploring the philosophical and political challenges of bridging feminist and ecological concerns, Ecofeminism as Politics argues that ecofeminism reaches beyond contemporary social movements as a political synthesis of four revolutions in one, taking in ecology, feminism, socialism, and postcolonial struggle. Informed by a critical postmodern reading of Marxism, Ecofeminism as Politics integrates discourses on science, the body, culture, nature, and political economy. Highlighting the importance of finding commonalities between ecofeminist and indigenous struggles, Salleh offers a groundbreaking discussion of deep ecology, social ecology, eco-socialism, and postmodern feminism through the lens of an ecofeminist deconstruction., 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.
