Many chapters review the most critical literature and other helpful and hands-on material for educators in the fields of ecofeminism and ecowomanism. The text is accessible for undergradu ates, thought-inspiring for graduate students, and potentially life-altering for all its readers. * Feminist Review * This edited volume from Hall and Kirk brings to light the connections, interactions, and entanglements of geography, gender, race, and sexuality. Collectively, the essays, written during the middle of the global COVID-19 pandemic, prompt readers to question their environs, who belongs there, and who has power and control over those localities. Contributing authors further encourage readers to question how the world could look different through a feminist approach to climate justice. The chapters center racial and queered ecofeminism theory, an intersectional approach needed to challenge the status quo in the fields of geography, ecology, social justice, and gender and queer studies. A thought-provoking contribution. Recommended. * Choice Reviews * Theorizing 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. -- Greta Gaard, University of Wisconsin-River Falls K. Melchor Hall and Gwyn Kirk's Mapping Gendered Ecologies: Engaging with and beyond Ecowomanism and Ecofeminism is a celebration of diversity, of species, and cultures. It takes us beyond the inevitability of separation and monocultures of the mind to diversity through dialogue and collaboration. -- Vandana Shiva, founder of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Natural Resource Policy; author of Earth Democracy: Justice, Sustainability, and Peace Living up to its promise, Mapping Gendered Ecologies composts Euro-patriarchal academic frameworks as it immerses the reader in ecofeminist worldviews. Rooted in earth, water, stone, and living plants, we journey from Six Nations to Cambodia, Spain, Boriken, Haiti, and Mexico. We unearth our land and water-based traumas, decompose them, and build a more nourishing and rooted map of the world. We squirm in discomfort and delight in revelation as wisdom-keepers like Aurora Levins Morales and Stephanie Morningstar push us to question our colonial notions of land, life, and self. Drs. Hall and Kirk interrupt the ivory tower pandering to white comfort and invite us to upend notions that only some lives matter. Their anthology is essential reading for the thriving of humanity and all life on earth. -- Leah Penniman, co-founder of Soul Fire Farm; author of Farming While Black Author InformationK.
