Book Presentation: Insurgent Ecologies
With the editors and authors (names TBA).
Insurgent Ecologies. Between Environmental Struggles and Postcapitalist Transformations by the Undisciplined Environments Collective (Fernwood Press, 2024).

This book is a collection of stories about how movements against environmental and climate injustice globally converge into broader struggles for overcoming the racist, patriarchal and colonial structures of global capitalism while creating worlds of life, dignity and justice.

Insurgent Ecologies takes readers on an inspiring journey across key sites of ecological crisis and contestation, showing how revolutionary politics can emerge from the convergences between place-based, often disconnected struggles. These essays speak to longstanding debates in political ecology and radical thought around how to advance transformations in, against and beyond capitalism.

The collection starts from the belief that the environmental struggles taking place across the Global South and North are a necessary component of such transformations. The book presents the visions and strategies of struggles organized around sovereignty, land, climate, feminisms and labour, written by scholar-activists rooted in territories around the globe, offering locally grounded yet global perspectives.

Each story reflects on how to build solidarity and comradeship across diverse struggles and how new political subjects and transformative collective projects for social-ecological justice are created.

Edited by Undisciplined Environments, a collective of political ecology researchers founded in 2014 and organized around an online platform by the same name. The collective’s main purpose is to contribute to socio-ecological struggles and radical thought and practice, toward more egalitarian and ecologically sound futures. Furthermore, it aims to encourage the growth of radical political ecology networks at a transnational level.
The platform is accessible here: https://undisciplinedenvironments.org/

Copies of the book will be available to buy.
The event will be followed by a small reception.
