From Eco-Sufficiency to Global Justice by Ariel SallehIndex Review In these times of multiple crises and breakdowns, no one dimensional reductionist framework will show a way out. The Eco-Sufficiency anthology based on the diversity and pluralism of perspectives inspired by ecofeminism is a must read for anyone searching for alternatives. Vandana Shiva, Director of the Foundation for Science, Technology, and Ecology, New Delhi; author, activist, and winner of the Alternative Nobel PrizeThese essays on grassroots struggles over labour, MDGs, or Kyoto, reveal the workings of a sustaining "meta-industrial" economy. And to help political ecologists and ecological economists take this into their analyses, new working constructs like "embodied debt" and "metabolic value" are proposed. Salleh et al make it very clear that for the future of all life, we will have to fundamentally revamp institutions and theories founded on dominance and competition. By far and away the best collection of ecological feminist writing I have found. Richard Norgaard, Professor of Energy and Resources, University of California at BerkeleyPeople are much more than the atomised units of neoclassical and environmental economics. They are embodied; they grow and care for others in households, communities, and ecosystems. The lessons from this outstanding book are clear. Economic and ecological practices conducted by women and other marginalised groupings must be recognised as a source of new theoretical understandings, critical for social and environmental justice to be achieved. Peter Dickens, Social and Political Sciences, University of Cambridge; author of the award winning book Society & Nature (Polity, 2004).These new and incisive perspectives put forth a transformative agenda for global justice. And in doing so, the collection draws all of us -- activists and academics alike -- closer to a common political denominator in the search for a true alternative to globalization.
