Earth Democracy: Justice, Sustainability, and Peace

Vandana Shiva (Author)

Synopsis A leading voice in struggles for global justice, Vandana Shiva is a world renowed environmemtal activist and physicist. In Earth Democracy, Shiva updates the struggles she helped bring to international attention-against genetic food engineering, cultural theft, and natural resource privatisation-uncovering their link to the rising tide of fundamentalisms, violence against women, and planetary death. Starting in the 16th century with the initial enclosure of the British commons, Shiva reveals how the commons continue to shrink as more natural resources are patented and privatised. As our ecological sustainability and cultural diversity erode, so too is human life rendered disposable. Through the forces of neoliberal globalisation, economic and social exclusion ignite violence across lines of difference, threatening the lives of millions.
