Beschreibung

"This volume aims to make visible the many innovative resistances, alternatives and cosmologies emanating from the Global South. Detailing case studies from Asia, Africa, and the Americas, the contributors, composed of a mix of academics and activists, propose bottom-up solutions to the current ecological and climate crises. This work highlights how non-capitalist, anti-colonial, and non-anthropocentric alternatives and movements are realistic, holistic, and appropriate in the face of the global ecological crises"--
