Our planetary systems are in crisis and dominant capitalist solutions are largely making things worse. Across the world system, communities are rising up with revolutionary alternatives, but these are too often overlooked by mainstream environmental governance spheres and Global North climate movements.Liberation Ecology argues that to confront socioecological crises, we must understand racial capitalism as a world ecological system—one that shapes how environmental destruction is experienced and resisted across continents. By linking the struggles of Indigenous frontiers, Third World peripheries, and Global North core spaces, the book explores the immense power of socioecological solidarity.Urgent and uncompromising, Liberation Ecology reveals why we cannot solve the climate crisis with frameworks that centre the North or ignore racial structures of oppression. We must build a politics of solidarity to create ecologies of liberation.
