Description: Postcolonial Ecocriticism: Literature, Animals, Environment Huggan, Graham Product Overview In Postcolonial Ecocriticism, Graham Huggan and Helen Tiffin examine relationships between humans, animals and the environment in postcolonial texts. Divided into two sections that consider the postcolonial first from an environmental and then a zoocritical perspective, the book looks at:narratives of development in postcolonial writingentitlement and belonging in the pastoral genrecolonialist 'asset stripping' and the Christian missionthe politics of eating and representations of cannibalismanimality and spiritualitysentimentality and anthropomorphismthe place of the human and the animal in a 'posthuman' world. Making use of the work of authors as diverse as J.M. Coetzee, Joseph Conrad, Daniel Defoe, Jamaica Kincaid and V.S. Naipaul, the authors argue that human liberation will never be fully achieved without challenging how human societies have constructed themselves in hierarchical relation to other human and nonhuman communities, and without imagining new ways in which these ecologically connected groupings can be creatively transformed.
