Nineteenth-Century American Literature and the Discourse of Natural
History illuminates how literary experimentation with natural
history provides penumbral views of environmental survival. The
book brings together feminist revisions of scientific objectivity
and critical race theory on diaspora to show how biogeography
influenced material and metaphorical concepts of species and race.
It also highlights how lesser known writers of color like Simon
Pokagon and James McCune Smith connected species migration and
mutability to forms of racial uplift. The book situates these
literary visions of environmental fragility and survival amidst the
development of Darwinian theories of evolution and against a
westward expanding American settler colonialism.
