The essays analyze novels, nature writing, films, television, and music that address a broad range of environmental topics related to the South, including climate change, built and natural environments, the petroleum industry, food cultures, waterways, natural disasters, dystopian climate fiction (eco-dystopias), and the Anthropocene. Edited by Zackary Vernon, this collection demonstrates how the greening of southern studies can catalyze alternative ways of seeing the region and its places and spaces. By addressing ecological issues central to life throughout the South, Ecocriticism and the Future of Southern Studies confronts the confluences between regional and environmental concerns, while also illustrating the need to see environmental issues as matters of social justice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Southern studies in the age of the Anthropocene / Zackary Vernon -- Coal, oil, and southern hazardscapes.
