As myths of progress and modernization collapse amid the relentless polycrisis of our time, how do we strengthen alternative visions for moving forward - in community, practice, and struggle? How do we come together as movements to care for the earth and each other?
Focusing on agriculture, this book looks at peasant, indigenous, and transecofeminist practices, and puts forward an alternative conception of how we can sustain life collectively - beyond progress, plantation, and patriarchy.
Recovering and repurposing technologies, and breaking down the division between rural and urban, the ground is made fertile for growing other futures. Alongside works by writers like Ursula K. Le Guin and Octavia Butler, this work of radical political theory raises critical questions about technology and storytelling as matters of care and community.
