There is a highly unequal, expensive, and therefore discriminatory landscape for scholarly publishing of work in political ecology. Average APCs are high to maintain corporate publsher's profits, while non commercial, community-led, alternative journal and book publishers need support. The chapter looks at the dominant for-profit publication architecture in this field, and some of the outlets and spaces that have emerged as alternatives. The authors have worked in these alternatives, that apply critical scholarly integrity to get the work of others into print and disseminated online. Why should radical and anti-corporate political ecology scholarship be published in outlets bundled in lucrative commercial agreements, with little or no price transparency?
