Ariel Salleh spells out the social and ecological contradictions set in motion by neocolonialism. Inspired by decolonial thinkers from Arturo Escobar to Tyson Yunkaporta, and critics of technology like Vandana Shiva and Shoshana Zuboff, she argues that dispossession of First Nation peoples’ livelihoods is not healed by consumerism in the name of ‘development’. Breaking with ecomodernist policy such as ‘the tech fix’ of mainstream environmentalists, Salleh contests the patriarchal-colonial-capitalist imperium and its advocacy of Green New Deals, Earth Governance, Sustainable Development Goals, and Smart Futures.
Worldwide many decolonial activists see through the zero-sum imagination and its Earth Summits. Youth too, is defying the capitalist ruling class extinction trajectory, and some even challenge the fashionable post-human ideology circulating in high-tech quarters. Beyond ‘exchange value’, these Others of the Androcene are calling for self-governing bioregional futures, respectful of indigenous skills; they want local food sovereign economies, which meet people’s needs while protecting nature’s ‘metabolic value’.
Spelling out the biopolitical violence of digitalization and genetic engineering, this book traces two decades of creative defiance by global peoples’ movements against the contradictions of ecomodernist development and its ongoing imposition by nation states and international agencies.
Ariel Salleh is Visiting Professor in the Faculty of Humanities, Nelson Mandela University, South Africa; former Senior Fellow in Post-Growth Societies, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany and Research Associate in Political Economy, University of Sydney, Australia. She is author and editor of many books including Ecofeminism as Politics (ZED, 2017).
