Ecofeminism in Dialogue

Edited by Douglas A. Vakoch and Sam Mickey - Contributions by Anna Bedford; Benay Blend; Michelle Deininger; Gail Grossman Freyne; Edna Gorney; Rachel Hart Winter; Ann Hidalgo; Christina Holmes; Jessica McLean; Rebecca Meier-Rao; Valerie Padilla Carroll; Dr. Vandana Shiva; Tina Sikka; Kate Wilkinson Cross; Karen Ya-Chu Yang; Douglas A. Vakoch and Sam Mickey

There are countless ways of thinking, feeling, and acting like an ecofeminist. Ecofeminism includes a plurality of perspectives, thriving in dialogue between diverse theories and practices involving ecological and feminist matters of concern. Deepening the dialogue, the contributors in this anthology explore critical and complementary interactions between ecofeminism and other areas of inquiry, including ecocriticism, postcolonialism, geography, environmental law, religion, geoengineering, systems thinking, family therapy, and more. This volume aims to further the cultural and literary theories of ecofeminism by situating them in conversation with other interpretations and analyses of intersections between environment, gender, and culture. This anthology is a unique combination of contemporary, interdisciplinary, and global perspectives in dialogue with ecofeminism, supporting academic and activist efforts to resist oppression and domination and cultivate care and justice.
