Talk of a catastrophic contemporary environmental crisis is all around us,
yet the relationship between such a crisis and literary and cultural forms
remains relatively unexamined.This book offers a way of thinking about
this relationship by reading a number of key contemporary Indian novels
alongside accounts of the severely stressed ecology and environment of the
country. In doing so,
Postcolonial
Environments also suggests a new
alignment between the theoretical fields of
postcolonial
and environmental
studies. In showing how such an alignment can provide us with a materialist
and historicist account of environments of cultures and cultures of
environment, the book makes an original contribution to the emergent
area of green postcolonialism.
