A synthesis of leftist politics and social ecology—arguing that ecological problems are rooted in social hierarchies, and that ecological liberation requires social liberation. Leftist Social Ecology draws on anarchist, socialist, and feminist traditions to analyze how domination of nature and domination of humans are connected. It critiques capitalism, statism, and patriarchy as systems that degrade both people and planet. Leftist Social Ecology is both analysis (understanding the roots of crisis) and vision (imagining free, ecological societies).
"You can't have ecological sustainability with hierarchy because hierarchy concentrates power and externalizes costs. That's Leftist Social Ecology: domination is the problem, whether of humans or nature. Leftist politics without ecology misses the planet; ecology without leftist politics misses power. Together, they see the whole: a world worth fighting for."
