“…Third, political ecology research could feature in new publishing outlets such as electronic blogs, journals, and the like, as well as smaller and lesser known publishers of books and journals often overlooked by many Anglo‐American political ecologists (in Southeast or East Asia, for example, see Seki Y, 2001; Odani, 2009; Seki K, 2009), especially when it comes to their ‘best’ work. Once again, this is not a trivial matter because the status quo reflects a clear privileging of international (but typically UK/US‐based) outlets that serve particular distinction‐making concerns.…”

For all its vitality political ecology often appears to be a project in which work by Anglo-Americans in particular, if it is not privileged, certainly predominates. This trend reflects wider language and intellectual tendencies in human geography and the social sciences that distort the development of the field by downplaying or obscuring the contributions of many non-Anglo-Americans and by naturalizing Anglo-American assumptions at the heart of research. The latter in turn determine what constitutes 'good' work -even as there is no single definition of political ecology. Arguing against this tendency, this paper draws on postcolonial thinking to emphasize the need to reassess and reorient the field as 'other' political ecologies are feasible and desirable.
