About the Book
This book offers an original exploration of how the relationship between society and 'nature' is conceptualized, focusing on theories of social exclusion and difference. Erika Cudworth provides a comprehensive overview of feminist and environmental theories of society-environment relations, considering a wide range of theoretical and political influences, including socialist and Marxist theory, as well as the turn to post-structuralism and postmodernism in the social sciences. Cudworth develops her own theoretical account for understanding the interrelations between various forms of social domination, contributing significantly to key debates in sociology, social theory, feminist theory, and environmentalism.
