hus, ecofeminism finds itself necessarily opposed to capitalism and colonialism at a material and ideological level, and must align itself with discourses of post-colonialism and anti-capitalism to suggest alternatives and resistance to the hierarchies of conquering and domesticating. Though ecofeminism makes women central to its analysis in ways post-colonialism and anti-capitalism are not necessarily committed to, an allegiance between post-colonial, anti-capitalist, and ecofeminist discourses and politics yields useful strategies and possibilities.
