Liberation Ecology: Reframing Six Disempowering Ideas That Keep Us From Aligning with Nature – Even Our Own
Frances Moore LappeIn Liberation Ecology , Frances Moore Lappé challenges the conventional wisdom of the environmental movement. She takes apart six prevailing ideas about nature and human nature that she believes rob society of the ability to create the world it wants. She then reframes these ideas in ways that energize and motivate readers to create change. Liberation Ecology continues the quest Lappé began 40 years ago in Diet for a Small Planet. It was then that she first realized that the ideas humans hold can be more powerful than instinct. Ideas can trap us in powerlessness or free us to create the world we really want. A unique blend of the ecological and political, this book asks readers to “think like an ecosystem,” offering compelling examples of this approach, helping them find direction in relation to both the environment and social issues.
