'Sylvia Wynter called the plots given to enslaved Africans in the Caribbean a source of cultural guerrilla resistance to the plantation system. Zechners work is another such source. Drawing on plot resistances amongst peasant communities from Europe to Latin America, she has written a guerrilla handbook indispensable in these times. With her as our guide, we can put out the fire and start some of our own' -- Stefano Harney, Professor of Transversal Aesthetics, Academy of Media Arts Cologne, co-author of All Incomplete 'With charming prose, and built upon a solid basis of militant knowledge, this book asks the right questions at the right moment in the history of modern agriculture and land struggles. It will nourish the heart and mind of anyone who longs for 'earthcare transitioning'' -- Stefania Barca, author of Workers of the Earth 'Zechners invitation is as tempting as it is prescient as her book masterfully recounts and grounds her calling in a plethora of peasant and indigenous struggles around the world. As a writer and an organizer, Zechner does not shy away from the gargantuan task at hand. We invite our partners, sister organizations, comrades, peasants, agricultural workers, social movements and trade unionists to read, engage and disseminate Zechners book so that all workers of this earth can strategize, organize and operationalize what an earthcare transitioning could look like in the near future' -- A Growing Culture 'Finally, a new entire book on earthcare! In times of ongoing ecocide and genocide, this combative manifesto offers a unique, contemporary (trans)ecofeminist analysis grounded in the authors long-standing social movement knowledge and experience. It champions the power of earthcare by truly thinking about transition from the resistant lands and fields in a class-sensitive and intersectional way' -- Nadine Gerner and Lina Hansen, authors of Ökofeminismus 'At a time when fear and fascism are on the rise, we need books like this to remind us that other worlds are possible, grounded in care, solidarity and abundance. And as Zechner shows us, these worlds are not only possible, they are being made and fought for all over the place' -- Patrick Bresnihan, author of From the Bog to the Cloud 'How do we feed ourselves? In this book the desire of ecological reparation and social justice meets the agroecological plot. Starting from the struggles for earthcaring agriculture, with their significant allies, Manuela Zechner invites us to think what autonomy as interdependence might mean' -- Andrea Ghelfi, Department of Political and Social Sciences, University of Florence
