Revenant Ecologies

Revenant Ecologies critically examines global conservation efforts, highlighting how Western scientific approaches often exacerbate structural violences such as colonialism and racism. Drawing on Indigenous philosophies and marginalized knowledge systems, Audra Mitchell advocates for a new framework—(bio)plurality—that emphasizes nurturing diverse, irreplaceable ecosystems. The book combines political ecology, ethics, and violence studies to explore practical alternatives and the resilience of multi-life-form worlds resisting extinction.
