{"product_id":"postcolonial-ecologies-elizabeth-deloughrey-9780195394436","title":"Postcolonial Ecologies: Literatures of the Environment","description":"The first edited collection to bring ecocritical studies into a necessary dialogue with postcolonial literature, this volume offers rich and suggestive ways to explore the relationship between humans and nature around the globe, drawing from texts from Africa and the Caribbean, as well as the Pacific Islands and South Asia. Turning to contemporary works by both well- and little-known postcolonial writers, the diverse contributions highlight the literary imagination as crucial to representing what Eduoard Glissant calls the \"aesthetics of the earth.\" The essays are organized around a group of thematic concerns that engage culture and cultivation, arboriculture and deforestation, the lives of animals, and the relationship between the military and the tourist industry. With chapters that address works by J. M. Coetzee, Kiran Desai, Derek Walcott, Alejo Carpentier, Zakes Mda, and many others, \u003cem\u003ePostcolonial Ecologies\u003c\/em\u003e makes a remarkable contribution to rethinking the role of the humanities in addressing global environmental issues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Deloughrey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195394437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195394436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2011","brand":"Elizabeth Deloughrey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992880709887,"sku":"9780195394436","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_def92f94-3aa4-43ee-9fda-c0a55c6524c6.jpg?v=1683321322","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/postcolonial-ecologies-elizabeth-deloughrey-9780195394436","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
