This book envisages a different form of our economies where care
work and care-full relationships are central to social and cultural
life. It sets out a feminist vision of a caring economy and asks
what needs to change economically and ecologically in our
conceptual approaches and our daily lives as we learn to care for
each other and non-human others. Bringing together authors from 11
countries (also representing institutions from 8 countries), this
edited collection sets out the challenges for gender aware
economies based on an ethics of care for people and the environment
in an original and engaging way. The book aims to break down the
assumed inseparability of economic growth and social prosperity,
and natural resource exploitation, while not romanticising
social-material relations to nature. The authors explore diverse
understandings of care through a range of analytical approaches,
contexts and case studies and pays particular attention to the
complicated nexus between re/productivity, nature, womanhood and
care. It includes strong contributions on community economies,
everyday practices of care, the politics of place and care of
non-human others, as well as an engagement on concepts such as
wealth, sustainability, food sovereignty, body politics,
naturecultures and technoscience. Feminist Political Ecology and
the Economics of Care is aimed at all those interested in what
feminist theory and practice brings to today's major political
economic and environmental debates around sustainability,
alternatives to economic development and gender power relations.
