Environmental Postcolonialism : A Literary Response, Paperback / softback Book

Environmental Postcolonialism : A Literary Response Paperback / softback

Edited by Shubhanku Kochar, Anjum Khan

Part of the Ecocritical Theory and Practice series

Paperback / softback

Description

Environmental Postcolonialism: A Literary Response is an academic investigation of the environmental repercussions of colonial destruction.

This volume addresses the complex interplay between postcolonialism and environmental discourse through literature produced in the ex-colonies.

This literature is read from the standpoint of ex-colonies within their human and non-human context.

The primary objective of this volume is to scrutinize environmental concerns in the light of postcolonial theory, and so it examines works of art from the twin perspective of eco-criticism and postcolonialism which illuminates and underscores how colonizers destroyed and interfered with both nature and culture.

Through discussing the intersecting layers of ecocriticism and postcolonial criticism, the volume gestures to new directions and generates a hopeful vision of a decolonized world.
