Summary:
De notre alimentation à nos logements en passant par nos déplacements, l’énergie traverse l’ensemble des activités humaines. Or, l’utilisation que nous en faisons engendre aujourd’hui des répercussions inédites sur la biogéosphère. À un point tel que nous aurions même changé d’époque géologique pour entrer dans l’Anthropocène, c’est-à-dire dans l’«époque de l’humain». Pour comprendre comment nous en sommes arrivés à perturber à ce point le fonctionnement du système Terre, Victor Court propose une ambitieuse synthèse historique de l’impact de l’exploitation des ressources énergétiques sur les sociétés et leur environnement. Une histoire mondiale des sociétés humaines par le prisme de l’énergie, du Paléolithique à nos jours.

Summary:
In the decades following the Second World War, women from all walks of life became increasingly frustrated by the world around them. Drawing on long-standing political traditions, these women bound together to revolutionize social norms and contest gender inequality. In Montreal, women activists inspired by Red Power, Black Power, and Quebec liberation, among other social movements, mounted a multifront campaign against social injustice. Bringing to light previously overlooked archival and oral sources, Amanda Ricci introduces a new cast of characters to the history of feminism in Quebec. The book presents a unique portrait of the resurgence of feminist activism, demonstrating its deep roots in Indigenous and Black communities, its transnational scope, and its wide-ranging inspirations and preoccupations.
