This book is a must-read for activists, scholars and scholar-activists who struggle for a better and more equal world. - Giorgos Kallis, ICREA professor, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain Henrik Ernstson and Erik Swyngedouw have teamed up with colleagues to - once again - push the boundaries of Urban Political Ecology (UPE). They are launching a scathing attack on readings of the Anthropocene that see this new geological era as the ultimate justification for an elitist, techno-managerial politics of unsustainability. This volume is an intellectual firework bringing together radical thinkers who are determined to re-energize the egalitarian emancipatory project. - Professor Ingolfur Bluhdorn, Head of the Institute for Social Change and Sustainability, Department of Socio-Economics, Vienna University of Economic and Business, Austria The rise of sustainability science, the traction of ideas about the Anthropocene and the intellectual and practice-based emphasis on complex systems dynamics should not, as Ernstson and Swyngedouw so powerfully remind us in this hard-hitting book, detract from the basic point that the environment is deeply political and as such any intellectual contribution to understanding environmental concerns needs too to be inherently political. - Professor Sue Parnell, University of Bristol and African Centre for Cities, University of Cape Town, South Africa What can be done?
