Description
Book SynopsisThis collection of women's racialized and gendered mappings of place, people, and nature includes the stories of teachers, organizers, activists, farmers, healers, and gardeners. From their many entry points, the contributors to this work engage crucial questions of coexistence with nature in these times of overlapping climate, health, economic, and racial crises.
Trade ReviewTheorizing in the vernacular, these essays put ecowomanists and ecofeminists in conversation, addressing our shared commitments to climate justice and multispecies collaborations. Across generations, cultures and identities, our humanimal flourishing requires growing roots in our diverse herstories and letting them guide us in creating more just and sustainable futures.
