Feminist Ecologies
In times of devastating ecological crisis, where can we find a route map to collectively halt current trends of destruction? In this review, we examine feminist studies’ recent contributions to activism and theorizing regarding extraction, emerging ecologies, and multispecies justice. By bringing in salient research from the fields of feminist political ecology, ecofeminism, and decolonial/anticolonial feminisms, we point to the ways in which fem…
Agroecología y La Vía Campesina I. La construcción simbólica y material de la agroecología a través de los procesos de “campesina(o) a campesina(o)”
En este ensayo abordamos la territorialización simbólica y material de la agroecología en La Vía Campesina (LVC) a través de procesos de campesina(o) a campesina(o) (PCaC) en sentido amplio. Los ejemplos de masificación de la agroecología más significativos están claramente ligados a procesos organizativos y, desde nuestra perspectiva, el corazón de esos avances son los PCaC. Sostenemos que allí se articulan agroecologías, sujetos y territorios, …
Decolonizing degrowth in the post-development convergence: Questions, experiences, and proposals from two Indigenous territories
A growing coalition of degrowth scholar-activist(s) seeks to transform degrowth into an interdisciplinary and international field bridging a rising network of social and environmental justice movements. We offer constructive decolonial and feminist critiques to foster their productive alliances with multiple feminisms, Indigenous, post-development and pluriversal thought and design ( Escobar, 2018 ), and people on the ground. Our suggested pathwa…
Networked, rooted and territorial: Green grabbing and resistance in Chiapas
Land grabbing has been characterized by large-scale commercial land deals or green grabs of large conservation tracts. In Chiapas, Mexico, green grabs employ a networked strategy across state, corporate and civil society lines to evict peasant and indigenous communities, and facilitate entry of extractive industries, plantations and industrial 'ecotourism'. The resistance is rooted in place(s) and in a coalition of civil society organizations and…
Feminist Political Ecology: Global Issues and Local Experience
Feminist Political Ecology explores the gendered relations of ecologies, economies and politics in communities as diverse as the rubbertappers in the rainforests of Brazil to activist groups fighting racism in New York City.Women are often at the centre of these struggles, struggles which concern local knowledge, everyday practice, rights to resources, sustainable development, environmental quality, and social justice.The book bridges the gap bet…

Territories of Difference: Place, Movements, Life, Redes
In Territories of Difference, Arturo Escobar, author of the widely debated book Encountering Development, analyzes the politics of difference enacted by specific place-based ethnic and environmental movements in the context of neoliberal globalization. His analysis is based on his many years of engagement with a group of Afro-Colombian activists of Colombia's Pacific rainforest region, the Proceso de Comunidades Negras (PCN). Escobar offers a det…

Reimagining Political Ecology
Reimagining Political Ecology is a state-of-the-art collection of ethnographies grounded in political ecology. When political ecology first emerged as a distinct field in the early 1970s, it was rooted in the neo-Marxism of world system theory. This collection showcases second-generation political ecology, which retains the Marxist interest in capitalism as a global structure but which is also heavily influenced by poststructuralism, feminism, pr…
In Search of the Rain Forest
The essays collected here offer important new reflections on the multiple images of and rhetoric surrounding the rain forest. The slogan “Save the Rain Forest!”—emblazoned on glossy posters of tall trees wreathed in vines and studded with monkeys and parrots—promotes the popular image of a marvelously wild and vulnerable rain forest. Although representations like these have fueled laudable rescue efforts, in many ways they have done more harm tha…
Complex Communities and Relational Webs Uncertainty, Surprise and Transformation in Machakos
Summaries Poststructural applications of actor?network theory and complexity theory promise a means to encompass uncertainty, diversity and surprise in changing communities and complex human ecologies. Local organisations and social movements mediate relations within and between households, groups and communities based on gender, class, age, occupation and political affiliation. Community groups tend toward multiple membership, complex identities…
Complex communities and emergent ecologies in the regional agroforest of Zambrana-Chacuey, Dominican Republic
Global economic change and the discourses, models and practice of international sustainable development are major forces of ecological construction and restructuring. The paper illustrates how the social and ecological co-construction of forests in the Zambrana-Chacuey region in the Dominican Republic has material consequences for distinct groups of people and for other species in rural landscapes. The introduction of the Acacia mangium - a fast …

Biodiversity protection will depend, in large part, on restoring the balance between gendered rights and responsibilities and on an integrated vision of livelihood, life support and life?for?its?own sake. An example from Kenya illustrates the gendered nature of local sciences of health, food, forestry and land use and the complex gender division of ‘niches’ in rural landscapes and production systems.

Trees as Tools, Trees as Text: Struggles Over Resources in Zambrana‐chacuey, Dominican Republic
S The people of the Rural Federation of Zambrana‐Chacuey, in the Dominican Republic, are engaged in complex and multivalent struggles over resources in a forest and farm landscape subject to rapid land use change. Acacia mangium , a fast growing tree recently introduced as a timber cash crop, has become an object, a site and a tool of struggle in conflicts between local and state interests, and between women and men. Until recently, tree cutting …
