Ecofeminism in Appalachia: One Woman’s Perspective and Call to Action

I will explore both the theoretical and practical elements of ecofeminism, drawing upon my Appalachian background and my personal attempt to live and model a sustainable lifestyle. By illustrating the interconnection between the precepts of ecofeminism and the natural and cultural gifts of the Appalachian region, I hope to inspire others to think of creative solutions to the sexism and ecological devastation which impede the self-empowerment of Appalachian women and men, and which contribute to the economical, ecological, and cultural impoverishment of our communities.

Mormonism, Biopolitics, and the Refuge of Terry Tempest Williams's Ecofeminist Resistance

by April Anson

Anson, April. “Mormonism, Biopolitics and the Refuge of Terry Tempest Williams's Ecofeminist Resistance”. Journal for the Study of Religion 24.2 (2011), 65-74.

Williams’s Mormon identity compels constant attempts to “rescue” her religious sympathies from a distinctly oppressive historical and social ideology and Refuge exemplifies this struggle to unify and transform repressive and toxic cultural bias into a mode of resistance. It is within an inimical relationship with patriarchal religious foundations and what Foucault termed biopolitical racism that Refuge centers its repudiations. This article will discuss Williams’s endeavors to resolve Mormon principles with her ecofeminist self and will examine how this prepared her for “war” against biopolitical power in Refuge. In her text, Williams offers the refuge of ecofeminist resistance.

Locating Ecofeminism in the Encounter With Food and Place

Using as example my own neighborhood in a racially integrated area of Philadelphia with a thriving local foods movement that nonetheless is nearly exclusively white and in which women are the invisible majority of purchasers, farmers, and preparers, the article examines what  ecofeminism contributes to the discussion of racial, gendered, classed discrepancies regarding who does and does not participate in practices of locavorism and the local foods movement more broadly. Ecofeminism, it is argued here, with its focus on the ways that race, class, gender, and place are ontologically entangled, helps to highlight the ways identity and society are made and re-made through our encounters with food.
