| Susan Hawthorne Looking for a new way forward, or a different explanation of what is currently happening? Susan Hawthorne challenges the universal endorsement of global western culture with her concept of biodiversity, arguing that biodiversity is a useful metaphor for understanding social, political, and economic relations in the globalised world of the twenty-first century. She provides a visionary outlook 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 a vision of a regenerative world sustaining the environment and its people. â Prue Hyman, author Women and Economics Wild Politics demonstrates that there are richly feminist ways of philosophising â ¦ A powerful feminist sensibility â ¦ informs every line in the bookâ ¦â â Allan Patience, Australian Book Review Wild Politics is fabulous, and Susan Hawthorne has done us all a tremendous service.â â Sarah Lucia Hoagland, Womenâ s Review of Books, USA My new year passionate thought is to make the most of the remarkable book Wild Politics in extending our social ecology mission. This is the text I would have used as a core reference when teaching. It â shouldâ become the equivalent of Das Kapital for this era. â Graham Bird, Culture Lab |
