About the Book

Ecological Interconnections: Critical Readings on Ethics, Sustainability and Interspecies Communication in Literature and Culture argues that literature and cultural studies are vital tools for understanding and addressing ecological issues. This edited book of sixteen essays explores how literary texts and cultural iconography can highlight ecological ethics, promote sustainability, and enhance interspecies communication. By critiquing anthropocentric perspectives and emphasizing non-human ecologies, the book explores the importance of deep ecology and ecoprecarity in contemporary discourse. Divided into three sections-"Interspecies Communication and Intersection," "Eco-ethical Intersection and Responsibility," and "Towards Ecological Sustainability"-the essays advocate for a practical shift from theoretical considerations to active ecological commitment. The book demonstrates that literature can cultivate eco-consciousness and empathy, fostering sustainable coexistence. Through its interdisciplinary approach, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the interconnectedness of human and non-human life, making it an indispensable resource for scholars, students, and eco-conscious individuals.

Review :
"True to its title, this volume offers a range of essays that intersect to offer richly rewarding insights into how contemporary narratives from around the world communicate vital ecological principles, from environmental justice to interspecies relationships. The book reminds us that any hope of resolving our planetary crisis depends on the kind of globally-minded, dialogical reading represented in these pages." --Alan Johnson, Idaho State University "Through an ecocritical South Asian lens, Ecological Interconnections explores a wealth of literary and cultural texts, each illuminating the ways human cultures and economies treat the more-than-human world, affecting the quality and possibility of our shared futures." --Greta Gaard, University of Wisconsin-River Falls
