While feminists celebrate this connection, women and all those who care for people and environments are facing increasing burdens and decreasing time for civic engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eBeyond Mothering Earth,\u003c\/em\u003e MacGregor argues that celebrations of \"earthcare\" as women's unique contribution to the search for sustainability often neglect to consider the importance of politics and citizenship in women's lives. Drawing on interviews with women who juggle private caring with civic engagement in quality-of-life concerns, she proposes an alternative: a project of feminist ecological citizenship that affirms the practice of citizenship as an intrinsically valuable activity while recognizing the foundational aspects of caring labour and natural processes that allow its specificity to flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeyond Mothering Earth\u003c\/em\u003e provides an original and empirically grounded understanding of women's involvement in quality-of-life activism and an analysis of citizenship that makes an important contribution to contemporary discussions of green politics, globalization, neoliberalism, and democratic justice. It will be of value to scholars and activists interested in the politics of environmental sustainability and the shifting meanings of citizenship in an increasingly vulnerable world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Introduction: Earthcare or Feminist Ecological Citizenship?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart One: Theoretical Interrogations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 The Roots and Rhetoric of Ecomaternalism\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Down among the Women: Ecofeminism and Identity Politics at the Grassroots\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 From Care to Citizenship: Calling Ecofeminism Back to Politics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 The Problems and Possibilities of Ecological Citizenship\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Two: Conversations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Conversations with Activist Women: Towards a Counter-Narrative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 The Private, the Public, and the Planet: Juggling Care and Activism in Daily Life\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Activist Women Theorize the Green Political\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 No Motherhood Issue: The Project of Feminist Ecological Citizenship\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppendix: Research Process and Methods\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531053527320,"sku":"9780774812016","price":25.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/beyond-mothering-earth-ecological-citizenship-and-the-politics-of-care-hardback-9780774812016","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
