With a new preface written specifically for this edition and an annotated list of suggestions for further reading, Postcolonial Ecocriticism offers a comprehensive and fully up-to-date introduction to a rapidly expanding field.

Agency, sex and emotion Postscript: After Nature Works Cited Index Review Praise for first edition:"This volume will be required reading for anyone interested in the debate about the literary in the era of environmental apocalypse." American Book Review"This book--the critical meeting of the methods of ecocriticism and postcolonialism--is long overdue. Essential." CHOICE"By grounding issues of representation in issues of environmental activism, Huggan and Tiffin remind ecocritics of the importance of this type of work. In this sense, their book makes an important contribution to ecocriticism in its steps to internationalise the field while also creating space for literary analysis within environmental activism around the world." Green Letters"Postcolonial Ecocriticism: Literature, Animals, Environment offers a rich and timely discussion of the ecocritical turn within postcolonial literary studies. This volume is an introduction to the field and is thus especially valuable to readers invested in postcolonial studies but new to ecocriticism...This volume further distinguishes itself by bringing together ecocriticism and the much newer zoocriticism" Aarthi Vadde, Duke University, Contemporary Literature"... there is much to admire in the books breadth and usefulness, including pithy and accessible introductions to the politics of postcolonial development, racisms links with speciesism, and the role of post-humanism in a putatively "post-natural" world." Anthony Carrigan, Keele University, Journal of Postcolonial Writing"Postcolonial Ecocriticism offers a comprehensive summary and intelligent analysis of concerns and debates that define the terrain between and within the fields it surveys…Postcolonial Ecocriticism covers an impressive range of texts, including mainly fiction, but also poetry and drama, from India, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the Caribbean, and the postcolonial diaspora…The effect is consistently engaging and insightful." Susie OBrien, McMaster University, Postcolonial Text"This thorough and well-written introduction to the field of postcolonial ecocriticism…offers a useful foundation by meticulously mapping the territory."
