Spanos articulates as the "errand into the wilderness": the ethic of Puritanical expansionism at the heart of US empire that moved westward under Manifest Destiny to colonize Native Americans, non-whites, women, and the land. The project explores how the legacy of the errand has been articulated by women writers, from the slave narrative to contemporary fiction. Uniting texts across geographical and temporal boundaries, the book constructs a theoretical approach for reading and understanding how women authors craft counter-narratives at the intersection of metaphorical and literal landscapes of colonization. It focuses on literature from the United States and the Caribbean, including the slave narratives by Sojourner Truth, Harriet E. Wilson, and Harriet Jacobs, and contemporary work by Toni Morrison, Maryse CondeÌ, Edwidge Danticat, and Native American writer Linda Hogan. It charts the contrast between America's earliest idyllic visions and the subsequent reality: an era of unprecedented violence against women of color and the environment. This study of many canonical writers presents an important and illuminating analysis of American mythologies that continue to impact the cultural landscape today. It will be a significant discussion text for students, scholars and researchers in environmental humanities, ecofeminism, and postcolonial studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Ecologies of exception: gender, race, and the eco-imperial imaginary in Caribbean and American literature and culture -- Ecologies of racism: a genealogy of Black feminisms in American slavery -- Nomadic ecologies, race and female masculinities: Willa Cather's conflicted land ethics in O pioneers! -- Errand of American expansionism: the intersections of violence, women's bodies, and natural space in the novels of Edwidge Danticat -- 'Pecola and the unyielding earth': exclusionary cartographies, transgenerational trauma, and racialized dispossession in The bluest eye -- 'A hurricane ravaging the island': an examination of Blackness, witchcraft, and feminist alterity in Maryse CondeÌ's I, Tituba, Black witch of Salem -- Mapping the counter-errand: feminist agential ecologies in Linda Hogan's Solar storms. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Caribbean literature (French) $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Feminism in literature. 650 0 $a Philosophy of nature in literature. 650 0 $a Ecology in literature. 650 0 $a Colonization in literature. 650 0 $a Imperialism in literature. 650 0 $a Minorities in literature. 650 0 $a Race in literature. 650 7 $a American literature $x Minority authors $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807213 650 7 $a American literature $x Women authors $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807271 650 7 $a Colonization in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902852 650 7 $a Ecology in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901557 650 7 $a Feminism in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922752 650 7 $a Imperialism in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968142 650 7 $a Minorities in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023274 650 7 $a Philosophy of nature in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060848 650 7 $a Race in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086506 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 776 08 $i Online version: $a Battista, Christine M., 1981- $t Literary feminist ecologies of American and Caribbean expansionism $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2024 $z 9781003275213 $w (DLC) 2023005130 700 1 $a Sande, Melissa R., $e author. 830 0 $a Routledge environmental literature, culture and media 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619012437.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5B7AA17C2E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
