Sommario/riassunto |
|
Ecoambiguity, Community, and Development extends the energetic and socially important tradition of postcolonial ecocriticism to regions of the world not normally considered in the postcolonial context, such as southern Japan and eastern Europe. The text expands Karen Thornber's notion of "ecoambiguity" from her own work on East Asian literature and culture to many other countries. |
