| Summary |
"This book addresses the intersections between the interdisciplinary realms of ecocriticism and Indigenous and Native American studies, and between academic theory and pragmatic eco-activism conducted by multiethnic and indigenous communities. It illuminates theways in which artistic expressions render ecological connections and includes film, literature, performance, and other forms of multimedia. Both local and global in its focus, the volume includes essays from multiethnic and Indigenous communities across the world, visiting topics such as Navajo opera, Sami film production history, south Indian tribal documentary, Maori art installations, Native American and First Nations science-fiction literature and film, Amazonian poetry, and many others. Highlighting trans-Indigenous sensibilities that speak to worldwide crises of environmental politics and action against marginalization, the collection alerts readers to movements of community resilience and resistance, cosmological thinking about inter- and intra-generational multi-species relations, and understandings of indigenous aesthetics and material ecologies."-- Provided by publisher |
