It examines texts from colonial times to the present that reflect on the significance of the region's rich cultures against the brutal slavery system and its impact on the environment. Columbus's first letter helps establish the effects of colonization on indigenous peoples, the ensuing importation of African slaves, and the changes to the landscape. The expression of female agency and sexuality provides the framework for the study of adaptation and hybridization as crucial reflections on the ecological significance of the Caribbean's multiracial reality. No other book offers this kind of close comparative re-readings of Caribbean texts-from Hispaniola to Haiti to Cuba, and from Martinique to Guadeloupe to Puerto Rico, to the Dominican Republic-through ecocritical lenses to recognize the significance of the survival of the literary matter of Other(ed) natures as readers (re)think their own roles within this inclusive ecosphere"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Caribbean literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Culture in literature. 650 0 $a Nature in literature. 650 0 $a Other (Philosophy) in literature. 650 7 $a Caribbean literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00847469 650 7 $a Culture in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00885113 650 7 $a Nature in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034680 650 7 $a Other (Philosophy) in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904148 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 Gosser EsquiliÌn, Mary Ann. $t Culture, nature, and the other in Caribbean literature $d Amherst, New York : Cambria Press, [2023] $z 9781621966869 $w (DLC) 2022058767 830 0 $a Cambria studies in Latin American literatures and cultures series 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011051.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4E747F702E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
