Beschreibung

THE EMERGENCE OF ECOSOCIALISM, COLLECTED ESSAYS is the first posthumous publication by Joel Kovel, an author, activist, and scholar who died on April 30, 2018. In 2001, Kovel co-wrote "An Ecosocialist Manifesto," which sparked a global movement rooted in ancient traditions and forward-looking visions. Since then, numerous books and hundreds of articles have been released as issues like global warming, climate change, pollution, and ecological sustainability have become pressing global concerns. This heightened awareness has led to the rise of ecosocialist movements and organizations across all inhabited continents. For the first time, editor Quincy Saul has assembled THE EMERGENCE OF ECOSOCIALISM, a comprehensive collection of Kovel's essays on ecosocialism that documents the development of its theory and practice, serving to inform and educate. This collection includes original manifestos, essays, undelivered speeches, and notable pieces from "Capitalism Nature Socialism, the Journal of Ecosocialism that Kovel edited, providing a thorough guide to ecosocialist practice from one of its pioneers.

Autor

Joel Kovel (1936-2018) was a prominent scholar and author recognized as a pioneer of the global ecosocialist movement. Initially trained as a physician and psychoanalyst, he served as a professor at both the Albert Einstein School of Medicine and Bard College. Kovel authored around a dozen books and significantly contributed to the ecosocialist movement with his influential work, "The Enemy of Nature" (2002, 2007), as well as by editing the journal "Capitalism Nature Socialism" (2003-2011) and co-founding "Ecosocialist Horizons." His other notable works include "History and Spirit" (1991) and "Overcoming Zionism" (2007), with his final book being a memoir titled "The Lost Traveller's Dream" (2017). A lifelong activist for revolutionary causes, Kovel lectured across all inhabited continents, and his writings have been translated into Spanish, Turkish, Japanese, and Chinese. In the 1980s, he collaborated with radical priests in Nicaragua and converted to Christianity in 2012 through baptism in the Episcopal Church. The Emergence of Ecosocialism (2019) is Kovel's first work published posthumously.
