Beyond Virtual Movements Interview: Embodied Materialism in ActionReviewsA powerful work of scholarship that will continue to shape our thinking, debates, and actions concerning inequalities, ecology, and justice for generations to come.' * Journal of World-Systems Research * Ecofeminism as Politics has pioneered the integration of social movement debates, and its dialectical approach viewing these concerns as internally related is pathbreaking. Ariel Salleh is a must-read authority on how to challenge capitalism in theory and as practice in the twenty-first century'. * Adam David Morton, University of Sydney, author of Revolution and State in Modern Mexico * One of the most original and important thinkers in the international political ecology field; Ariel Salleh unveils the blind spot at the root of contemporary ecological and social crises and her lucid call for an 'embodied materialism' enlightens like no other framework I know. * Arturo Escobar, anthropologist, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and author of Designs for the Pluriverse * Ecofeminism as Politics makes a powerful critique of both anthropocentrism and the androcentric thinking that permeates scholarship and activist discourses on the Left. Its social movement synthesis is an essential read for those seeking solutions to our deepening systemic crises. * Jackie Smith, Sociology, University of Pittsburgh, and editor of the Journal of World-Systems Research * In a feisty attack on the view of feminism and environmentalism as single issue, disconnected movements, Ariel Salleh convincingly argues that ecofeminist politics will be the strongest force in the world against environmental depredation, economic exploitation and cultural globalisation. * Praise for the First Edition, Joan Martinez-Alier, editor of Ecologica Politica and author of Ecological Economics * This challenge to feminists, Marxists, and environmentalists, is sustained by a deep knowledge of struggles on the ground by women's, worker's, indigenous, and ecological groups. As integrative political actions are called for, their effectiveness depends on multi-dimensional theory; and here is Salleh's contribution. * Lau Kin Chi, Cultural Studies, Lingnan University, Hong Kong, and founding member of the Global University for Sustainability * Neoliberalism has not eliminated poverty, nor discrimination of women, nor exploitation of the Earth; neither economists, politicians, nor theoreticians know a way out. Marxists ignore both nature's and women's contribution to the production of wealth, but as ecofeminists show, this is the lost key to building Another World. * Maria Mies, ecofeminist activist and author of Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale * I place Ariel Salleh's scholarship in the front rank with the work of other socialist ecofeminists such as Vandana Shiva or ecofeminists generally like Rosemary Ruether and Susan Griffin. * Praise for the First Edition, Max Oelschlaeger, philosopher, author of Caring for Creation and editor of Postmodern Environmental Ethics * Ariel Salleh's explanation of how environmental struggle is socialist struggle is feminist struggle sets the standard for intersectional study of the crises we face in nature, economy and society - from global climate to household. In her praxis epistemology and labours for repair of the humanity-nature metabolism, we find the most passionate, humbling truths. * Patrick Bond, political economist, University of Witwatersrand School of Governance, South Africa * The combination of eco-socialist, feminist and decolonial perspectives is analytically and politically thrilling. Ecofeminism as Politics offers an integrative understanding of our world, its multiple processes and crises, and possibilities for change. * Ulrich Brand, political scientist, University of Vienna, and co-author of Theorizing the Imperial Mode of Living * Praise for the First Edition: 'In a feisty attack on the view of feminism and environmentalism as single issue, disconnected movements, Ariel Salleh convincingly argues that ecofeminist politics will be the strongest force in the world against environmental depredation, economic exploitation and cultural globalisation.'

Max Oelschlaeger, author of Caring for Creation 'In a fiesty attack on the view of feminism and environmentalism as single issue, postmodern, disconnected movements, Ariel Salleh convincingly argues that ecofeminist politics will be the strongest force in the world against environmental depredation, economic exploitation and cultural globalisation...Salleh develops her arguments at several levels of analysis and with a wealth of empirical material.' Juan Martinez-Alier 'I place Ariel Salleh's scholarship in the front rank with work of other socialist ecofeminists such as Vandana Shiva or ecofeminists generally like Rosemary Ruether and Susan Griffin' - Max Oelschlaeger 'A theoretically challenging book which contains a wealth of empirical evidence.' - Futures 'Passionately written, well researched and sweeping in its theoretical scope. In particular, Salleh's integration of Marxist theory pushes some of the intellectual boundaries of ecofeminism ...there is something refreshing about Salleh's inclusionary politics' - Women's Review of Books 'A significant work... an important contribution to ecofeminist discourse.' - Economic and Political Weekly 'A nascent political economy... a unique and powerful explanatory position' - John Barry, Environmental Politics `The combination of eco-socialist, feminist and decolonial perspectives is analytically and politically thrilling.
