This book is an edited collection of essays by fourteen
multicultural women (including a few Anglo women) who are doing
work that crosses the boundaries of ecological and social healing.
The women are prominent academics, writers and leaders spanning
Native American, Indigenous, Asian, African, Latina, Jewish and
Multiracial backgrounds. The contributors express a myriad of ways
that the relationship between the ecological and social have
brought new understanding to their experiences and work in the
world. Moreover by working with these edges of awareness, they are
identifying new forms of teaching, leading, healing and positive
change. Ecological and Social Healing is rooted in these ideas and
speaks to an "edge awareness or consciousness." In essence this
speaks to the power of integrating multiple and often conflicting
views and the transformations that result. As women working across
the boundaries of the ecological and social, we have powerful
experiences that are creating new forms of healing. This book is
rooted in academic theory as well as personal and professional
experience, and highlights emerging models and insights. It will
appeal to those working, teaching and learning in the fields of
social justice, environmental issues, women's studies,
spirituality, transformative/environmental/sustainability
leadership, and interdisciplinary/intersectionality studies.
Considering the context of the present ecological and social
crisis, this book takes an interdisciplinary approach to explore
the relationship between globalism and localization. Globalism may
be viewed as a positive emergent property of globalization. The
latter depicts a worldwide economic and political system, and
arguably a worldview, that has directly increased planetary levels
of injustice, poverty, militarism, violence, and ecological
destruction. In contrast, globalism represents interconnected
systems of exchange and resourcefulness through increased
communications across innumerable global diversities. In an
economic, cultural, and political framework, localization centers
on small-scale communities placed within the immediate bioregion,
providing intimacy between the means of production and consumption,
as well as long-term security and resilience. There is an
increasing movement towards localization in order to counteract the
destruction wreaked by globalization, yet our world is deeply and
integrally immersed within a globalized reality. Within this
collection, contributors expound upon the connection between local
and global phenomenon within their respective fields including
social ecology, climate justice, ecopsychology, big history, peace
ecology, social justice, community resilience, indigenous rights,
permaculture, food justice, liberatory politics, and both
transformative and transpersonal studies.
