Entangled and Empowered: Agency in Multispecies Communities

“Entangled and Empowered: Agency in Multispecies Communities” offers a compelling and imaginative reconfiguration of human engagements with the more-than-human world. In this book, Keri Stevenson curates a diverse and intellectually vibrant collection that traverses multiple terrains—from microbial ecologies in contemporary art to the spiritual entanglements surrounding cacao among the Mopan Maya. These essays illuminate the ways in which humans and other species “live in that web, create art, eat, and make worlds in common.” This volume will be of particular interest to scholars and students in environmental humanities, posthumanist theory, and multispecies ethnography, presenting itself not merely as an academic contribution but as a politically urgent, ethically resonant, and conceptually innovative intervention.
