Practicing Feminist Political Ecologies explores the latest thinking on feminist political ecology. Included is a collective critique of the "green economy," an analysis of the post-Rio+20 UN conference debates, and a nuanced study of the impact that the current ecological and economic crisis will have on a diverse range of women and their communities. By including such well-known contributors as Dianne Rocheleau, Catherine Walsh, and Christa Wichterich, along with an upcoming generation of new activist scholars, it fills the gap in the literature on the relationship between the environment and gender.

This timely and important book launches the Zed Books' Gender, Development and Environment series and puts feminist political ecology securely on the map, making it an important new contribution to environmental studies.

Industry Reviews

This outstanding volume at last brings us a much-awaited sequel to the highly acclaimed Feminist Political Ecology. It illustrates like no other book I know the unprecedented coalitions being pioneered by women in regions across the world. * Arturo Escobar, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill *
Moving beyond narratives of eco-hero/ines to nuanced explorations of identity, activism, and the complexity of environmental justice in the lived world, this collection represents a high-water mark in the new feminist political ecology. * Joni Seager, author of Earth Follies and Carson's Silent Spring *
This wonderful book brings vital counter-visions and practices to today's debates about the green economy and sustainable development. This should be required reading for all concerned with the troubling future of humanity on our planet. * Melissa Leach, University of Sussex *
