‘In times of ongoing ecocide and genocide, this combative manifesto offers a unique analysis’ Nadine Gerner and Lina Hansen, authors of Ökofeminismus
As myths of progress and modernization collapse in the relentless polycrisis of our time, how do we strengthen alternative visions of how to move forward – in community, practice and struggle? How do we come together as movements to care for the earth and each other?
Focusing on agriculture, this book looks at peasant, indigenous, and transecofeminist practices, and puts forward an alternative conception of how we can sustain life collectively – beyond progress, plantation and patriarchy.
Recovering and repurposing technologies, and breaking down the division between rural and urban, the ground is made fertile for growing other futures. Alongside writers like Ursula Le Guin and Octavia Butler, this work of radical political theory raises critical questions about technology and storytelling as matters of care and community.
