Recenzii

Susan Hawthorne Looking for a new way forward, or a different explanation ofwhat is currently happening? Susan Hawthorne challenges theuniversal endorsement of global western culture with her conceptof biodiversity, arguing that biodiversity is a useful metaphor forunderstanding social, political, and economic relations in theglobalised world of the twenty-first century. She provides a visionaryoutlook and proposes ways forward that emphasise social justice,multiversity and an ecologically-grounded feminist philosophy.Susan Hawthorne has written an inspiring book, drawing on feminist and Indigenous knowledge to critique global capitalist practice and create avision of a regenerative world sustaining the environment and its people.—Prue Hyman, author Women and EconomicsWild Politics demonstrates that there are richly feminist ways ofphilosophising … A powerful feminist sensibility … informs every linein the book…’—Allan Patience, Australian Book ReviewWild Politics is fabulous, and Susan Hawthorne has done us all atremendous service.’—Sarah Lucia Hoagland, Women’s Review of Books, USAMy new year passionate thought is to make the most of the remarkablebook Wild Politics in extending our social ecology mission. This is thetext I would have used as a core reference when teaching. It ‘should’become the equivalent of Das Kapital for this era.—Graham Bird, Culture Lab
A work of breathtaking erudition.—Diane Bell
