Global Ecologies and the Environmental Humanities: Postcolonial Approaches

Book Overview

This book examines current trends in the Environmental Humanities, focusing on how globalization and imperialism challenge approaches to environmental issues, and visiting narrative's role in shaping ideas about problems like climate change, militarism, deforestation, toxicity, and agricultural resource management. It explores implications for defining a postcolonial approach to the EH in areas such as political ecology and environmental justice.　Spanning the globe, essays expand the geographical and historical contours of ecocriticism, providing new perspectives on how ecological change can be traced to globalization and a history of colonialism. A global, postcolonial, and comparative approach is essential to defining the field, enlightening issues surrounding alternative ecological futures.
