The Promise of Multispecies Justice explores the possibilities for multispecies justice, delving into how social justice struggles intersect with the lives of animals, plants, and other creatures. Leading thinkers from diverse fields, including anthropology, geography, philosophy, speculative fiction, poetry, and contemporary art, offer their insights and perspectives.
In America, Indigenous peoples and prisoners are actively decolonizing multispecies relations in unceded territory and carceral landscapes. Small acts of justice are emerging in Tanzanian markets, near banana plantations in the Philippines, and in abandoned buildings in Azerbaijan as individuals navigate their relationships with feral dogs, weeds, rats, and pesticides. Conflicts over the rights of nature are intensifying in Colombia's Amazon region. Meanwhile, specters of justice are emerging in India, while children in Micronesia commemorate extinct bird species.
Engaging with ideas such as environmental justice, restorative justice, and other species of justice, The Promise of Multispecies Justice offers a roadmap for flourishing in multispecies worlds, both present and to come.
The contributors to this book include renowned scholars and artists who bring their expertise and creativity to the forefront. Karin Bolender, Sophie Chao, M. L. Clark, Radhika Govindrajan, Zsuzsanna Dominika Ihar, Noriko Ishiyama, Eben Kirksey, Elizabeth Lara, Jia Hui Lee, Kristina Lyons, Michael Marder, Alyssa Paredes, Craig Santos Perez, Kim TallBear, among others, contribute their insights and perspectives, shaping the conversation around multispecies justice.
Through their diverse contributions, The Promise of Multispecies Justice offers a rich and multifaceted exploration of the possibilities for justice and harmony between humans and other species. It challenges us to reimagine our relationships with the natural world and to embrace a more inclusive and compassionate approach to our interactions with all living beings.
This book is a valuable resource for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in exploring the intersection of social justice and the lives of animals, plants, and other creatures. It provides a wealth of ideas and perspectives that can inspire us to work towards a more just and sustainable future for all species.
