«A piercing critique of imperial culture and climate doomism.
Alberro’s Terrestrial Ecotopias is a compelling and penetrating
corrective, sketching an ecology of hope beyond the Capitalocene.»
(Jason W. Moore, author, Capitalism in the Web of Life) «Utopia is
here and now, with our feet on the ground alongside paws, claws and
roots. Heather Alberro brings together eco-fictional, radical
environmental activist, and Indigenous struggles for an urgent appeal
to jointly build better, more-than-human tomorrows — starting today.
Artfully weaving intricate analysis and sweeping connections into a
passionate book brimming with life, Terrestrial Ecotopias provides us
with the blueprints we need for bringing multispecies flourishing into
the world through stories and action.» (Christoph Rupprecht,
Associate Professor in Sustainability and Global Environmental
Studies, Ehime University, co-editor of Multispecies Cities: Solarpunk
Urban Futures and Solarpunk Creatures) This book offers
transdisciplinary critical analyses of select contemporary
manifestations of ecotopianism, asking in particular: whither the
otherthan- human? To what extent do these visions and strivings for
ecologically sustainable futures actively foreground the needs and
wellbeing of our terrestrial kin rather than consign them to a mute
backdrop overshadowed by a predominantly human drama?
