Ecofeminism as Politics
‘I place Ariel Salleh’s scholarship
in the front rank with the work of ecofeminists such as Vandana Shiva, Rosemary Ruether,
and Susan Griffin.’
Max Oelschlaeger
‘a challenge to Marxists to reconstitute their critique of capitalism,
especially the fundamental contradiction between use value (human
development) and exchange value (production for profit…’ ‘Passionately
written, well researched, and sweeping in theoretical scope…there is
something refreshing about Salleh’s inclusionary
politics.’ ‘persuasive account of ecofeminism’s role in critiquing the
foundations of global economic, intellectual, and political orders… Salleh
has addressed long-standing criticisms of of ecofeminism as essentialist…suitable as an undergraduate
text since the language is clear, the arguments succinct and referencing
comprehensive.’ ‘a feisty attack on feminism and environmentalism as single-issue, postmodern,
disconnected movements …Salleh develops her arguments at several levels of
analysis, and with a wealth of empirical material.’ ‘feminists like Hartsock,
Mellor, and Salleh…can be said to have taken some
aspects of Marx more seriously than many Marxists.’
