Carolyn Merchant's "Reinventing Eden" traces the development of Western conceptions of paradise on Earth - or 'Eden' - from early mythology to the present day. The work looks at different conceptions of paradise through the ages - a golden age from which humanity fell; something that can be restored by science, technology, and capitalism; and the mall as eden to the capitalist mind. The developments include different perspectives such as Indigenous, black, feminist, environmentalist, and religious views, as they pertain to the current climatw crisis. Merchant iterates her partnership thesis and cites Murray Bookchin (if you read more than one of her books, you will see this same theme come up again and again). This book offers very valuable insight into how we got to where we are today, and proposes a solution. A great work for those interested in postcolonialism, socialism, ecology, feminism, and all the ways they intersect. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
