Description

Examining contemporary literary depictions of environmental disasters through a North-South axis, this book explores the resonances and dissonances between environmentalisms of marginalized communities in the U.S. and the global South.
Pairing anti-colonial texts from the United States with examples from the Global South, it interrogates the complexity of global precarity and particular forms of environmental violence. Each pairing is linked to a specific manifestation of environmental disaster, such as hurricane, drought, species extinction, and agricultural collapse.
Featuring texts from authors such as Jesmyn Ward, Monique Roffey, Paolo Bacigalupi, Alexis Wright, Linda Hogan, Henrietta Rose-Innes, Ruth Ozeki, and Sonora Jha, this book models how a comparative (global North-global South) approach to literary studies can help us untangle the complex power dynamics and differentials of the Anthropocene.
