This book examines current trends in scholarly thinking about the
new field of the Environmental Humanities, focusing in particular
on how the history of globalization and imperialism represents a
special challenge to the representation of environmental issues.
Essays in this path-breaking collection examine the role that
narrative, visual, and aesthetic forms can play in drawing
attention to and shaping our ideas about long-term and catastrophic
environmental challenges such as climate change, militarism,
deforestation, the pollution and management of the global commons,
petrocapitalism, and the commodification of nature. The volume
presents a postcolonial approach to the environmental humanities,
especially in conjunction with current thinking in areas such as
political ecology and environmental justice. Spanning regions such
as Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean,
Australasia and the Pacific, as well as North America, the volume
includes essays by founding figures in the field as well as new
scholars, providing vital new interdisciplinary perspectives on:
the politics of the earth; disaster, vulnerability, and resilience;
political ecologies and environmental justice; world ecologies; and
the Anthropocene. In engaging critical ecologies, the volume poses
a postcolonial environmental humanities for the twenty-first
century. At the heart of this is a conviction that a thoroughly
global, postcolonial, and comparative approach is essential to
defining the emergent field of the environmental humanities, and
that this field has much to offer in understanding critical issues
surrounding the creation of alternative ecological futures.
