Contents:

pt. 1. Cultivating place -- pt. 2. Forest fictions -- pt. 3. The lives of (nonhuman) animals -- pt. 4. Militourism.

Summary: This title brings ecocritical studies into a dialogue with postcolonial studies. By examining African, Caribbean, Pacific Island, and South Asian literatures and how they depict the relationship between humans and nature, this book makes a compelling argument for a more global approach to thinking through our current environmental crisis. Turning to the contemporary production of postcolonial novelists and poets, this book poses the literary imagination as a crucial to imagining what Eduoard Glissant calls the 'aesthetics of the earth'.
