ECOCRITICISM - DONELLE N DREESE KARTONIERT (TB)

Ecocriticism: Creating Self and Place in Environmental and American Indian Literatures studies
twentieth-century poets and prose writers of diverse ethnicity who have attempted to recover a
sense of home  identity  community  and place in response to various forms of displacement
caused by such forces as colonization  racial and sexual oppression  and environmental
alienation. Working from an ecocritical perspective that investigates 'place' as inherent in
configurations of the self and in the establishment of community and holistic well being  this
book examines the centrality of landscape in writers who  either through mythic  psychic  or
environmental channels  have identified a landscape or place as intrinsic to their own
conceptualizations of self. It also clarifies the territory where postcolonial and American
studies intersect by investigating the literary decolonization efforts made by American Indian
authors who are writing to reclaim their historical territories.
