Divided into two parts that consider the postcolonial first from an environmental and then a zoocritical perspective, the book looks at:  \n􀀁 narratives of development in postcolonial writing  \n􀀁 entitlement and belonging in the pastoral mode  \n􀀁 colonialist asset stripping and the Christian mission  \n􀀁 the politics of eating and representations of cannibalism  \n􀀁 animality and spirituality  \n􀀁 sentimentality and anthropomorphism  \n􀀁 the place of the human and the animal in a ‘posthuman’ world.  \nMaking use of the work of authors as diverse as J.M. Coetzee, Joseph Conrad, Daniel Defoe, Jamaica Kincaid and V.S. Naipaul, the authors argue that human liberation will never be fully achieved without challenging how human societies have constructed themselves in hierarchical relation to other human and non-human communities, and without imagining new ways in which these ecologically connected groupings can be creatively transformed.  \nGraham Huggan is Chair of Commonwealth and Postcolonial Literatures atthe University of Leeds.  \nHelen Tiffin was formerly Canada Research Chair in English and PostColonial Studies at Queen’s University, Ontario, and is now Adjunct Professor of Post-Colonial and Animal Studies at the University of New England, Australia.  \nPostcolonial Ecocriticism  \nLiterature, Animals, Environment  \nGraham Huggan and Helen Tiffin  \nFirst published 2010  \nby Routledge  \n2 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4RN Simultaneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge  \n270 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10016  \nRoutledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business  \nThis edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2009.  \nTo purchase your own copy of this or any of Taylor & Francis or Routledge’s collection of thousands of [eBooks please go to www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk](eBooks please go to www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk).© 2010 Graham Huggan and Helen Tiffin  \nAll rights reserved.
