"Queer as Materialism" published on by Oxford University Press.

Explores the concepts of ecological historical materialism that explains within the same framework the human social interactions with nature & the response of social actors to the problems the interactions create. Although Marx & Engels were the key figures in the development of the concepts of historical materialism, it has been enriched by the cultural thought of Western Marxism & critical theory, black & Third World Marxists, materialist feminists, & by ecological critical revisionists. The enriched historical materialism serves as an explanatory theory & as a source of normative orientations, political strategies, & future ideals. This article presents the reworked historical materialism that can provide explanatory views of environmentalism & nature, & where possible it compares the results with that of constructionist & reflexive modernization approaches. Broad coalitions that can apply these concepts are needed for the creation of a better global future. L. A. Hoffman
