But what if the very terms of this debate are part of the problem? \u003ci\u003eReimagining Livelihoods\u003c\/i\u003e argues that the “hegemonic trio” of economy, society, and environment not only fails to describe the actual world around us but poses a tremendous obstacle to enacting a truly sustainable future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a rich blend of ethnography and theory, \u003ci\u003eReimagining Livelihoods\u003c\/i\u003e engages with questions of development in the state of Maine to trace the dangerous effects of contemporary stories that simplify and domesticate conflict. As in so many other places around the world, the trio of economy, society, and environment in Maine produces a particular space of “common sense” within which struggles over life and livelihood unfold. Yet the terms of engagement embodied by this trio are neither innocent nor inevitable. It is a contingent, historically produced configuration, born from the throes of capitalist industrialism and colonialism. Drawing in part on his own participation in the struggle over the Plum Creek Corporation’s “concept plan” for a major resort development on the shores of Moosehead Lake in northern Maine, Ethan Miller articulates a rich framework for engaging with the ethical and political challenges of building ecological livelihoods among diverse human and nonhuman communities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn seeking a pathway for transformative thought that is both critical and affirmative, \u003ci\u003eReimagining Livelihoods\u003c\/i\u003e provides new frames of reference for living together on an increasingly volatile Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Troubling Economy, Society, and Environment in Maine\u003cbr\u003ePart I.
