A Political Ecology of Common People - Paperback

by Jacques Bidet (Author)

Advancing the concept of the 'metastructure' to define the relationship between the structural and the symbolic, this book argues that the global ecological crisis has resulted exclusively from processes of social domination, from which it follows that ecological struggle and social struggle are one and the same thing.
