An Ecological and Postcolonial Study of Literature: From Daniel Defoe to Salman Rushdie

by Robert P. Marzec

Book Overview

This book argues that humanity's relationship to the land has undergone a fundamental and calamitous change. Marzec reveals how the historical phenomenon known as the 'enclosure movement' has effected not only the ecosystems and the geopolitics of the Twenty-First century, but on how we relate to the earth and conceive of ourselves as human.
