Workers of the Earth

'In a time of planetary crisis, ecofeminist political ecologist Stefania Barca offers a brilliant analysis of how the diverse strands of 21st century Left politics can deepen their mutual understanding and move forward in a unified struggle for Life on Earth.'

-- Ariel Salleh, author of 'Ecofeminism as Politics'

'A vital contribution to making sense of the planetary proletariat and socialism in the web of life.'

-- Jason W. Moore, author of 'Capitalism in the Web of Life'

'Stefania Barca's innovative reconceptualization of the relationship between labor and the environment provides an indispensable theoretical basis for creating a better place for all living beings on this planet.'

-- Kohei Saito, author of 'Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto'

'Stefania Barca has given us the book that agents of a socially and ecologically just transformation need, connecting women workers in paid and unpaid care work, subsistence workers, indigenous workers, industrial workers, workers caring for human and non-human beings in her insightful analyses that allows Environmental Labour Studies to overcome the compartmentalisation of labour.'
