This Companion offers a capacious overview of American
environmental literature and criticism. Tracing environmental
literatures from the gates of the Manzanar War Relocation Camp in
California to the island of St. Croix, from the notebooks of
eighteenth-century naturalists to the practices of contemporary
activists, this book offers readers a broad, multimedia definition
of 'literature', a transnational, settler colonial comprehension of
America, and a more-than-green definition of 'environment'.
Demonstrating links between ecocriticism and such fields as Black
feminism, food studies, decolonial activism, Latinx studies,
Indigenous studies, queer theory, and carceral studies, the volume
reveals the persistent relevance of literary methods within the
increasingly interdisciplinary field of Environmental Humanities,
while also modeling practices of literary reading shaped by this
interdisciplinary turn. The result is a volume that will prove
indispensable both to students seeking an overview of American
environmental literature/criticism and to established scholars
seeking new approaches to the field.
