Deep Commons: Cultivating ecologies of solidarity and care beyond capitalism, patriarchy, racism and the state.

Recent years have witnessed an organized global backlash of authoritarian politics with a resurgence of xenophobic nationalisms, colonialism, racism, anti-feminist movements, climate denialism, and the purposeful undermining of existing democratic systems. In response, Deep Commons invites us to instead cultivate radically different political communities of solidarity and care. Linking ecological, anti-capitalist, feminist, Indigenous, and animal liberation politics intersectionally, activists and scholars from the growing Deep Commons community, representing a diversity of positions between the core and periphery of empire, share concrete examples and grassroots lived experiences of these liberatory psycho-socio-material relations. The book therefore focuses through one key question: How do we do it? How do we cultivate ecologies of solidarity and care beyond capitalism, patriarchy, racism, and the state?
