Ecospectrality

Along with humans and animals ghosts populate the pages of contemporary Anglophone novels. Analysing novels from across the world-including Australia Nigeria South Africa India and Jamaica this book explores how these ghosts can help readers to perceive difficult-to-visualise environmental threats and access marginalised environmental knowledge. Instead of prompting fear these hauntings foster understanding across species and generations to enable inclusive formulations of environmental justice.<br/> <br/> Drawing on the latest work in postcolonial ecocriticism hauntology and environmental philosophy and such literary texts as <i>GraceLand</i> <i>No Telephone to Heaven</i> <i>The Rock Alphabet </i> and <i>The Ministry of Utmost Happiness</i> <i>Ecospectrality</i> is an essential read for anyone working in the environmental humanities today.
