This open access book argues for allyship masculinity as an
open-ended, intersectional model for feminist men. It provides a
roadmap for navigating between toxic masculinity on one side, and
feminist androgyny on the other. Normative visions for what men
should be take many forms. For some it is love and mindfulness; for
others, wildness and heroic virtue. For still others the desire to
separate a healthy manhood from toxic masculinity is a mistake:
better to refuse to be men and salvage our humanity. Though Ben
Almassi challenges the visions that Mary Wollstonecraft, bell
hooks, and others have offered, he shares their belief that
masculinity can be grounded in feminist values and practices.
Almassi argues that we can make sense of relational allyship as
practices of feminist masculinity, such that men can make
distinctive and constructive contributions to gender justice in the
unjust meantime.
"One of the penalties of an ecological education," wrote Aldo
Leopold," is that one lives alone in a world of wounds." Ideally we
would not do each other or the rest of our biotic community wrong,
but we have, and still do. We need non-ideal environmental ethics
for living together in this world of wounds. Ethics does not stop
after wrongdoing: the aftermath of environmental harm demands
ethical action. How we work to repair healthy relationality matters
as much as the wounds themselves. Reparative Environmental Justice
in a World of Wounds discusses the possibilities and practices of
reparative environmental justice. It builds on theories of justice
in political philosophy, feminist ethics, indigenous studies, and
criminal justice as extended to non-ideal environmental ethics. How
can reparative environmental justice provide a useful perspective
on ecological restoration, human-animal entanglements, climate
change, environmental racism, and traditional ecological knowledge?
How can it promote just practices and policies while enabling
effective opposition to business as usual? And how does reparative
justice look different when we go beyond narrowly construed human
conflicts to include relational repair with ecosystems, other
animals, and future generations?
