Description:This volume investigates eleven contemporary environmental justice narratives from Kerala, the southwestern state in India. Introducing a detailed review of environmental literature in Malayalam, the selected eco-narratives are presented through two key literary genres: life narratives and novels, conveying the socio-environmental pressures, problems, and anxieties of modern, globalising Kerala. This text also includes primary investigations of 'toxic fictions' and 'extractivist fictions, ' including Malayalam novels that narrate the disastrous consequences of the permeation of toxic pollutants in human and eco-systemic bodies, and novels that chronicle the impact of exploitative mining activities on the environment. All eco-narratives analysed in the book exhibit the familiar pattern of the Global South environmental narratives, namely a close imbrication of the ecological and social spheres. Reading Contemporary Environmental Justice argues that these selected eco-texts offer inspiring scenarios where the subaltern people show thantedam, or courage, to claim thante idam, one's own space in society and on the Earth. This volume will be essential for those looking to expand their understanding of environmental justice, and the harmful effects of development and modernisation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
