Description

For the Wild Ritual and Commitment in Radical Eco-Activism by Sarah M. Pike explores how activists develop deep connections with the natural world through powerful experiences during childhood and young adulthood. This book examines the role of emotions, memories, and relationships with nonhuman animals in shaping protest practices and dedication to the planet. Through analyses of activist art, music, writings, interviews, and participant-observation in activist communities, Pike delves into the lives of often misunderstood and marginalized groups. With openness and sensitivity, she sheds light on the sacred duties of these individuals and their commitment to protecting the world's creatures. By examining the ways in which activists form meaningful relationships with the natural world, For the Wild offers a nuanced understanding of radical eco-activism and its underlying values.
