part. III. Making Postcolonial Sense. 7. when feminism fails. 8. terra nullius. 9. barefoot epistemology. 10. as energy/labour flows. 11. agents of complexity. 12. beyond virtual movements.


This is an exploration of the philosophical and political challenge of ecofeminism. It shows how the ecology movement has been held back by conceptual confusion over the implications of gender difference, while much that passes in the name of feminism is actually an obstacle to ecological change.
