- Summary:
- "Proceeding from the sense that the dominate western languages do not have the words we need to describe our environmental crisis or propose to it, this book is a collaborative volume of short, accessible chapters that propose ecologically productive terms - drawn from other languages, from speculative fiction, and from activist subcultures - as a means of envisioning and inspiring responses and alternatives to fossil-fueled neoliberal capitalism"-- Provided by publisher.
