Views on Sex/Gender
Dr. Moses Seenarine's views on gender are rooted in social justice, intersectionality, and the deconstruction of patriarchal structures. He is especially focused on the ways that gender, caste, and labor intersect in different cultural and historical contexts, particularly in colonial and post-colonial societies.
1. Colonialism and Gender Oppression: In his work, particularly in "Recasting Indian Women in Colonial Guiana," Dr. Seenarine explores how colonial systems imposed gender roles that reinforced the oppression of women, especially those from marginalized communities. He looks at the gendered dimensions of labor, particularly the roles of women in indentured servitude, and how these roles were shaped by colonial forces that sought to control and exploit labor.
2. The Intersectionality of Gender and Caste: Dr. Seenarine emphasizes the intersectionality of gender, caste, and social class, particularly in the context of Dalit (untouchable) women in India. In his book "Voices from the Subaltern," he addresses how Dalit women experience multiple layers of oppression—gender-based, caste-based, and class-based. Their struggles for empowerment are shaped by these compounded social inequalities.
3. Critique of Patriarchy: Dr. Seenarine critiques patriarchy as a system that not only subjugates women but also harms men by perpetuating restrictive gender roles. His work on "Cyborgs Versus the Earth Goddess" explores how patriarchy has domesticated women and animals, leading to ecological and social harms. He advocates for a shift in consciousness that recognizes the interconnectedness of gender, nature, and power structures, calling for women's resistance to this domination.
4. Global and Environmental Perspectives: In his environmental work, such as in "Meat Climate Change," Dr. Seenarine connects gender issues with environmental concerns. He argues that the exploitation of women and the exploitation of the environment are tied to the same capitalist and patriarchal systems. He calls for a rethinking of consumption patterns (such as meat consumption) and their impact on both gender justice and climate justice.
Dr. Moses Seenarine's work critically examines the intersections of race, gender, and social structures, particularly focusing on how these elements contribute to systemic oppression. In his book "Cyborgs Versus the Earth Goddess: Men's Domestication of Women and Animals and Female Resistance," he explores how patriarchal systems exploit both women and animals, leading to ecological and social harm. He argues that these patterns of domination propagate themselves, allowing and encouraging white males to dominate in various areas of life.
Dr. Seenarine's research also delves into the experiences of marginalized communities. In "Recasting Indian Women in Colonial Guiana," he examines the lives of indentured and free laborers, highlighting the compounded oppressions of race, gender, and class. Similarly, "Voices from the Subaltern: Education and Empowerment Among Dalit (Untouchable) Women in India" focuses on the educational experiences of Dalit women, shedding light on the multiple layers of discrimination they face.
In his book "Meat Climate Change: The 2nd Leading Cause of Global Warming," Dr. Seenarine examines the intersection of climate change and dietary choices, emphasizing the environmental impact of meat consumption. He argues that adopting plant-based diets can significantly mitigate climate change effects. The book has been recognized for its comprehensive analysis and has been cited in discussions on the psychological and environmental aspects of dietary choices.
Through his interdisciplinary approach, Dr. Seenarine emphasizes the need to understand and dismantle the interconnected systems of oppression that affect marginalized groups, advocating for social justice and empowerment. His work continues to influence discussions on climate change, gender equality, and social justice, underscoring the importance of addressing these issues through an intersectional lens.
In summary, Dr. Seenarine's views on gender are centered around challenging patriarchal norms, understanding gender oppression through an intersectional lens, and advocating for the empowerment of marginalized women, particularly in post-colonial contexts. His work also calls for greater attention to how environmental and social justice are intertwined with gender justice.

Summary
Conservative ideology in the United States has undergone a significant evolution since the nation's founding, becoming a defining force on the political landscape for decades. Rooted in core principles such as limited government, private ownership, individual liberty, and free-market capitalism, conservatism has been shaped by influential movements and figures like Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, and the rise of the Tea Party. Understanding this historical context is crucial to grasping the modern right-wing agenda.
In recent years, Republicans have made notable gains in areas such as economic policy, social issues, immigration, environmental regulation, foreign policy, and judicial appointments. While right-wing ideology emphasizes values like limited government, its implementation can pose significant risks.
Liberal politics have also been pivotal in shaping the nation's trajectory. Grounded in the belief that government can and should be a force for good, progressive initiatives aim to tackle systemic inequalities and build a more inclusive and equitable society. This book explores the dynamic between conservative politics and liberal critiques across various domains, including the economy, social equality, democratic institutions, women's rights and health, immigration, the environment, and more.

Resisting Ecocide
Without a doubt, Greta Thunberg is an important catalyst for climate change, as she has inspired activists across the Globe to start their own Climate Strike movements. This book highlights the work of over thirty Fridays for Future youth climate leaders, along with dozens of other youth activists working for organizations with similar goals. Greta and thousands of young reformers are struggling daily for our future. This book examines the resilience and power of over one hundred of these female voices through their resistance to the fossil fuel industry, and actions to address local apathy. It explores the Global impact that local campaigners are having by mobilizing millions to demand climate accountability and environmental action.
The one hundred and five female activists profiled in this book are mostly young, in their 20s and 30s. A few are in their teens. All are passionate about the environment and climate action. We tried to focus on a diversity of female voices and issues, and campaigners from dozens of countries are represented here. The book profiles the work of reformers from the Global South whose actions are seldom acknowledged in the Western mainstream media.
