Postcolonial Green

Since its inception, ecocriticism has been accused of being inattentive to the complexities that colonialism poses for ideas of nature and environmentalism. Postcolonial discourse, on the other hand, has been seen as being so immersed in theoretical questions of nationalism and identity that it has ignored environmental or ecological concerns. Postcolonial Green demonstrates that ecocriticism and postcolonialism must be understood as parallel projects, if not facets of the very same project-a struggle for global justice and sustainability.
