Integral Green Zimbabwe: An African Phoenix Rising marks the debut of the Integral Green Society and Economy series, which links the philosophical 'integral' age with the practical 'green' movement. The series blends elements of nature and community, culture and spirituality, science and technology, politics and economics – while this particular volume focuses specifically on Zimbabwe, as well as Southern Africa, drawing on the particular issues and capacities that this country and region represent.

‘This book is about an extraordinary journey towards an Integral Green Zimbabwe. Full of community spirit, it showcases how working together through a mode of integral research and development may lead to transformation and innovation. Guided by the principles of co-evolution, it results in novel ways of caring – caring for oneself and each other, caring for Zimbabwe.‘

Helga Nowotny, former President, European Research Council

‘Integral Green Zimbabwe features a diverse community of writers united by a shared concern with fostering multi-level approaches to development and imagining possibilities for a better future. Drawing upon a wide range of community experiences and personal stories, it avoids didactics, exhibits hope, and is underpinned by the principles of care and commitment. Integral Green Zimbabwe is an important locally-based and innovative contribution to a growing body of literature disenchanted by the shortcomings of grand theories of development.’
