About this book

Human domination of nature shapes every aspect of our lives today, even as it remains virtually invisible to us. Because human beings are a part of nature, the human domination of nature circles back to confine and exploit people as well – and not only the poor and marginalized but also the privileged and affluent, even in the world's most prosperous societies. Although modern democracy establishes constraints intended to protect people from domination as the arbitrary exercise of power, it offers few such protections for nonhuman parts of nature. The result is that, wherever we fall in human hierarchies, we inevitably find ourselves both complicit in and entrapped by a system that makes sustainable living all but impossible. It confines and exploits not only nature but people too, albeit in different ways. In Eco-Emancipation, Sharon Krause argues that we can find our way to a better, freer life by constraining the use of human power in relation to nature and promoting nature's well-being alongside our own, thereby releasing the Earth from human domination and freeing us from a way of life that is both exploitative and exploited, complicit and entrapped. Eco-Emancipation calls for new, more-than-human political communities that incorporate nonhuman parts of nature through institutions of representation and regimes of rights, combining these new institutional arrangements with political activism, a public ethos of respect for nature, and a culture of eco-responsibility.

Media reviews

– Winner of the Clay Morgan Award, Western Political Science Association

"Sharon Krause has contributed valuably to political theory and, specifically, environmental domination and governance research [...] [Eco-Emancipation] compels readers to engage with the dignity and power of nonhuman parts of nature that are, themselves, political actors."
– Cameron Fioret, Political Science Quarterly

"Re-imagining concepts such as respect, responsibility, and emancipation in the context of our relationships with our fellow Earth others promises a more just future for all, whether human or otherwise. This is a future in which we humans have committed to reigning in our rapacious treatment of the natural world through institutional measures that are – at least in theory – impervious to the lesser angels of our individual natures. As Krause convincingly argues, however, this is not a future of deprivation. By ensuring that all of Earth's inhabitants are as free as possible to pursue life on their own terms, we ensure that we, too, are free to flourish."
– Serrin Rutledge-Prior, Res Publica

"A thoroughgoing and knowledgeable argument for broad emancipation in an ecological context. It offers a nuanced account of domination within human societies, which is bad for everyone, not just those at the bottom of hierarchies."
– John Dryzek, author of The Politics of the Earth

"An interesting, challenging, and timely book on a vital topic. It deserves to be widely read."
– Alison McQueen, Stanford University
