Media Reviews
A spirited debate, not only between different strains of Marxism, but also between reds and greens about the very possibility of a synthesis.... The Greening of Marxism offers a sharp challenge to the dogma that a green future lies neither to the left nor to the right, but forward no one knows where. Those who hope to make their scholarship part of the fight for that future cannot afford to miss this collection. -- Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment (ISLE)

Socialism and ecology are often presented as the 'past' and the 'future' but, as this book makes clear, Marxism and Ecology have much to offer each other. As we prepare to enter the 21st century we need, more than ever, to understand the political and economic roots of environmental problems. This book, written by an international array of scholars, helps us to understand these roots. --Michael Redclift, Ph.D., Wye College, London

A green Marxism? The notion will seem far-fetched to many. Yet capital is the enemy of nature, and Marxism is the discourse of anti-capitalism. Any real confrontation with the ecological crisis will require the greening of Marxism. This is just what Ted Benton's superb collection, true to its title, sets out to do. This is committed scholarship of the highest order. --Joel Kovel, MD, Alger Hiss Professor of Social Studies, Bard College
