Seeds For Democratic Futures

The 17 essays in this volume investigate potentials for democratizing democracies. From finding faith to reclaiming the commons, each essay aims to plant a seed, which carries the promise of democratic potentials. Dealing with topics like planetary change, AI, and plural knowledge systems, the book acts as an inspiration, calling for unorthodox, compassionate, and experimental approaches. It is an invitation to cultivate democratic futures that are as diverse, resilient, and vibrant as the societies they aim to serve.

Report

»On the whole, the book offers both students and scholars a meticulous and excellent approach to the concepts and debates within environmental literature and ecocriticism. Moreover, »Ecopoetics and Place-Making« is an auspicious inauguration for the series, and it is more than fair to look forward to reading the books that will follow.«
