“The Earth is Like My Mother” offers a powerful and intimate portrait of the Kartini Kendeng Movement, where women farmers in Central Java stand at the forefront of Indonesia’s environmental resistance. Through a rich dialogue between ecofeminism, eco-Islam, and indigenous spirituality, this book reveals how women’s lived experiences, ethical practices, and spiritual worldviews shape a profound defense of their homeland against destructive cement mining. Drawing on in-depth fieldwork, Zaimatus Sa’diyah uncovers the moral imagination, gendered agency, and ecological ethics that emerge when faith, tradition, and activism converge. Both scholarly and compelling, this work redefines our understanding of Islam, ecology, and women’s leadership, while offering a visionary contribution to the growing field of Indonesian eco-Islam. An essential read for anyone seeking insight into environmental justice movements, religious ethics, and the transformative power of women defending the Earth.
