It represents the first sustained analysis of the connection between colonial legacy and present-day ecological catastrophe in postcolonial fiction. Analyzing contemporary South Asian and South Pacific novels that grapple with climate change and catastrophe, environmental exploitation and instability, and human-nonhuman relationships in degraded environments, it offers a much-needed corrective to dominant narratives about climate, crisis, and the everyday. Highlighting the contributions of literary fiction from the postcolonial South to the growing field of the environmental humanities, this book reconsiders the novel's relationship with climate change and the contemporary environmental imaginary. Counter to dominant current theoretical discourses, it demonstrates that the novel form is ideally suited to literary and imaginative engagements with climate change and ecological catastrophe. The six case studies it examines connect contemporary ecological vulnerability to colonial legacies, reveal the critical role animals and the environment play in literary imaginations of post-catastrophe recovery, and together constellate a decolonial perspective on ecological catastrophe in the era of climate change. Drawing on the work of Indigenous authors and scholars who write about and against the Anthropocene, this book displaces conventional ways of thinking about the relationship between the mundane and the catastrophic and promotes greater dialogue between the largely siloed fields of postcolonial, Indigenous, and disaster studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Climatic changes in literature. 650 0 $a Disasters in literature. 650 0 $a Ecocriticism. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism in literature. 650 0 $a South Asian fiction (English) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Pacific Island literature (English) $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Climatic changes in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902821 650 7 $a Disasters in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894811 650 7 $a Ecocriticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901428 650 7 $a Pacific Island literature (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01049963 650 7 $a Postcolonialism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073035 650 7 $a South Asian fiction (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01762737 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Poray-Wybranowska, Justyna, $t Climate change, ecological catastrophe, and the contemporary postcolonial novel $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2021. $z 9781003079767 $w (DLC) 2020034935 830 0 $a Routledge studies in world literatures and the environment. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032846.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=238629C478F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
