"This luminous volume weds trenchant analysis with lyrical beauty, self-care with planetary care, and fierce honesty with gracious invitation to learn from the world of ecowomanist thought, spirituality, aesthetics, and pedagogy. An elegant chorus of ecowomanist voices from around the world grounds the path toward a transformed future in nuanced intersectional analysis of past and current socio-eco realities. A landmark volume, The Ecowomanist Circle establishes ecowomanism as interdisciplinary, intercultural, global, interactive, constructive, visionary, experiential, and drenched with courageous beauty." - Cynthia Moe-Lobeda, Professor of Theological and Social Ethics, Graduate Theological Union and Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary. Founding Director, PLTS Center for Climate Justice and Faith"Elonda Clay, Melanie Harris and their team are so right! Ecowomanism isn’t a fuller, better representation for a field already formed (Religion and Ecology). Nor is it an adjacent voice welcomed by whites to complement their carefully cultivated eco-theology and ethics. Much less is it additional materials for further “greening” mainline religious traditions. It’s a profound, penetrating and exacting methodological challenge—at once transnational, interreligious, intercultural and interdisciplinary—that serves up a new discipline and field for everyone urgent about a healed planet and world. Congratulations and thanks to all in this book! You’ve done your part."- Larry Rasmussen, Reinhold Niebuhr Professor of Social Ethics Emeritus, Union Theological Seminary, New York City“This is a major contribution to the rapidly growing field of ecowomanism. With its broad inclusivity and scholarly rigor it is richly creative and widely accessible. The articles will remain some of the most important pieces for years to come. A breakthrough book indeed!"- Mary Evelyn Tucker, Co-director, Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology"In The Ecowomanist Circle, editors Melanie Harris and Elonda Clay present contributors who explore contested middle grounds of beauty, pain, community, and planetary care held lovingly in ecowomanist hands. Forgotten turns and frequent lapses of historical memory are revisited that honor black lives and bring understanding to the environmental history of peoples who heard the voices of a revelatory Earth community."- ‎John Grim, Senior Lecturer and Research Scholar, Yale University School of the Environment and Yale Divinity School
