Greening White
Patrick White’s support for green issues, especially in his later life, is well documented; however, relatively little attention has been paid to date to the planetary perspective of his fiction which, as Andrew McCann suggests, hints at “the possibility of a renewed relationship to the ‘earth’ ”. Focusing on what is generally considered to be his “greenest” novel, The Tree of Man, and adopting a broadly eco-materialist approach, this article ass…

Postcolonial Ecocriticism: Literature, Animals, Environment
This second edition of Postcolonial Ecocriticism, a book foundational for its field, has been updated to consider recent developments in the area such as environmental humanities and animal studies. Graham Huggan and Helen Tiffin examine transverse relations between humans, animals and the environment across a wide range of postcolonial literary texts and also address key issues such as global warming, food security, human over-population in the …
The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Studies
The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Studies is a major, fully up-to-date reference work, involving more than thirty worldwide contributors, which aims to provide nothing less than a blueprint for the future of its field. It is coherently organized into five cross-referenced parts, ‘The Imperial Past’, ‘The Colonial Present’, ‘Theory and Practice’, ‘Across the Disciplines’, and ‘Across the World’. Taken together, its essays, which are written by l…
Nature's Saviours: Celebrity Conservationists in the Television Age
Today's celebrity conservationists, many of whom made their reputations through television and other visual media, play a major role in drawing public attention to an increasingly threatened world. This book, one of the first to address this contribution, focuses on five key figures: the English naturalist David Attenborough, the French marine adventurer Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the American primatologist Dian Fossey, the Canadian scientist-broadca…
Irritating Europe
Europe has frequently been irritated by the realities of its own postcoloniality, while postcolonial studies remains similarly irked by the emergence of Europe as part of the postcolonial world. This chapter explores some of the historical, geographical, cultural and political trajectories of Europe's colonial past and postcolonial present; scrutinizes culture, literature and other arts in postcolonial Europe; and highlights the structural invisi…
Racism Postcolonialism Europe
Racism Postcolonialism Europe
This analysis turns the postcolonial critical gaze that had previously been most likely to train itself on regions other than Europe, and sometimes those perceived to be most culturally or geographically distant from Europe, back on Europe itself. It argues that racism is alive and dangerously well in Europe, and examines this racism through the lens of postcolonial criticism
Postcolonial Ecocriticism
In Postcolonial Ecocriticism, Graham Huggan and Helen Tiffin examine relationships between humans, animals and the environment in postcolonial texts. Divided into two sections that consider the postcolonial first from an environmental and then a zoocritical perspective, the book looks at: narratives of development in postcolonial writing entitlement and belonging in the pastoral genre colonialist 'asset stripping' and the Christian mission the po…
Postcolonial ecocriticism and the limits of Green Romanticism
This essay assesses the emerging alliance between postcolonial criticism and ecocriticism in the light of continuing debates on "Green Romanticism". It considers what is at stake in contending positions within this debate, what contributions postcolonial writers and thinkers have made to it, and what some of the implications might be of bringing postcolonial criticism and ecocriticism together, both for the reassessment of Romantic ecological leg…
Perspectives on postcolonial Europe 1
This essay makes a plea for reintroducing Europe into the domain of postcolonial literary and cultural studies, on the grounds not only that postcolonial approaches and methods can be usefully applied to current social, cultural and political trends in contemporary Europe but also that – at least in postcolonial circles – Dipesh Chakrabarty's passionate call for the "provincialization of Europe" has been heeded only too well. Postcolonialism, it …

Cultural Memory in Postcolonial Fiction: The Uses and Abuses of Ned Kelly
Focusing on Careyâ s and Dreweâ s representations of the Ned Kelly legend, the article explores the issues of memory, cultural myths and postcolonial fiction. Huggan argues that the two novels â illustrate the importance of the literary text in structuring the individual/collective memory processâ , drawing attention to the ways in which memory is dependent on metaphor, particularly metaphors of the body, to actualise remembered experience. Both …
