Rezensionen

"As the seas rise, watery thinking is coming into view. This experimental collection of essays and provocations brings together many ways of thinking and being with oceanic environments. Through distinctive contributions enabled by South Africa's historical, political, and physical conditions, these authors advance innovative practices, eco-theories, and visions for social and environmental justice." -- Steve Mentz, St. John's University, USA; Author of An Introduction to the Blue Humanities (Routledge, 2023)

"This exciting multi-disciplinary text is at the forefront of new thinking on blue environmental justice. Immersed in the under-explored bathymetric setting of South Africa, the book draws from a depth of activist voices, perspectives and knowledges that caution us on how important past, present and future blue care is for all communities that live by, on, in and under the water." -- Ronan Foley, Associate Professor, University of Maynooth, Ireland

"This rich, transdisciplinary, and beautifully composed edited collection offers readers spaces for critical and ethical scholarship, promoting hopefulness for a justice to come. Hydrofeminist thinking is creatively shaped by storytelling inspired by art, literature, and activism, such as memories, poetry, photography, theatre, and swimming, writing, walking, and conversation. The multiplicity of local stories of Ocean/s and beaches in the South African geopolitical context in this book inspired me to slow and diffractive reading to read and read again, see, and see again, listen, and listen again, from different and entangled stories, wordings, and images. There is much to learn for international readers from this edited collection about how we become locally situated watery selves and the political and scholarly possibilities of hydrofeminist thinking for pedagogical creativity and environmental justice." -- Mona B. Livholts, Professor of Social Work, University of Helsinki, Finland; Author of The Body Politics of Glocal Social Work. Essays on the Post-Anthropocentric Condition (Routledge 2023)
