Deserts are highly emblematic spaces: dry, barren, isolated. In
literary and cinematic representations, they often betoken collapse
and dystopia. Reading Aridity in Western American Literature offer
readings of literature set in the US Southwest from ecocritical and
new materialist perspectives. The volume explores the diverse
epistemologies, histories, relationships, futures, and
possibilities that emerge from the representation of American
deserts in fiction, film, and literary art. The authors, as well,
trace the social, cultural, economic, and biotic narratives that
foreground deserts, and how these underscore the challenges of
climate change, ecojustice, and human and non-human flourishing. As
such, the volume rethinks what deserts are and provides a
constructive lens for seeing deserts as more than blank spaces,
rather as ecogeographies that challenge, critique, and urge
collective ecojustice action.
