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 between the academic and rural orientation
of political ecology and the largely activist and urban focus of
environmental justice movements.
