Interrogating Eco-Literature and Sustainable Development 1st Edition

Capture a fresh perspective on literature and the environment with Interrogating Eco-Literature and Sustainable Development, 1st Edition by Sharbani Banerjee Mukherjee and Soumitra Roy. This compelling volume brings together rigorous scholarship and accessible analysis to examine how literary texts shape, reflect and challenge ideas of sustainability across India and the broader South Asian region.

Explore lucid chapters that bridge eco-criticism, cultural studies and development discourse—tracing how novels, poetry and film stage ecological imaginaries, resource conflicts, climate anxieties and community resilience. Grounded in contemporary debates on sustainable development, the book offers scholars, graduate students, policy-minded readers and educators an interdisciplinary toolkit for reading the environment through narrative, metaphor and representation.

Why this book matters: it not only decodes textual strategies that normalize or resist extractive practices but also illuminates alternative environmental ethics emerging from local histories, indigenous knowledge and grassroots activism. The authors’ thoughtful analyses make complex theory approachable without sacrificing scholarly depth, positioning the work as an essential resource for courses in environmental humanities, development studies and South Asian literature.

Whether you teach, research or simply care about the cultural dimensions of sustainability, this 1st Edition equips you with new conceptual lenses and case-study insights relevant to contemporary policy conversations across India and neighboring countries.
