Radical Human Ecology: Intercultural and Indigenous Approaches – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

Human ecology – the study and practice of relationships between the natural and the social environment – has gained prominence as scholars seek more effectively to engage with pressing global concerns. In the past seventy years most human ecology has skirted the fringes of geography, sociology and biology. This volume pioneers radical new directions. In particular, it explores the power of indigenous and traditional peoples’ epistemologies both to critique and to complement insights from modernity and postmodernity.
