Introduction
These Explorations argue that more links between the fields of feminist ecology and feminist economics are both needed and promising, and presents new, boundary-crossing research in this area. It brings together contributions from various regions in the world that link political action and experience in practice and research in an economic theorizing that includes both environmental and feminist concerns
We want our land back
Between 1998 and 2004, there has been a sea change in the power of corporate globalizers relative to the power of global social movements. In 1998, the World Trade Organization's agenda was virtual
Feminism in the Mau Mau Resurgence
We argue that there is a resurgence of Mau Mau in Kenya and that at its forefront are the demands and actions of landless women. The Mau Mau war against colonialism inspired millions in their struggles during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The continuation of the anti-imperial struggle on the African continent in the 1980s and 1990s expanded into the anti-corporate globalization movement of the 2000s. The gendered demands for communal land and auto…
Why Women are at War with Chevron
This study is an inquiry into why women were at war with oil companies in Nigeria and how they internationalized their struggle. Employing the Midnight Notes Collective's concept of "the new enclosures"; Shiva, Mies, and Bennholdt-Thomsen's "subsistence perspective"; and McMurtry's concept of the "civil commons," the study elaborates a "gendered class analysis" to consider the social anatomy of coordinated global actions by producers and consumer…

Social Reconstruction in Rural Africa
This study traces the struggles in Kenya of two groups of landless women to assert control over their own labour in agricultural production in the decade 1986–1997. In the first case, at least two thousand women of Maragua have refused to produce coffee, an export cash crop, and instead are producing bananas and selling them independently. In the second and very different setting of Mwea, a government rice producing project, hundreds of women hav…
