The book "Empire and Environment" delves into the intricate connections between histories of imperialism, colonialism, militarism, and global capitalism and the occurrence of environmental violence in the transpacific region. It draws its rationale from the profound intertwining of imperialism and the global environmental crisis, while also being inspired by the ecological work of activists, artists, and intellectuals across the transpacific region. By adopting a postcolonial and ecocritical lens, the collection aims to address the devastating consequences of ecological ruin in the face of ecological crises and environmental catastrophes on a global scale.
Through its thirteen body chapters, written by scholars from various parts of the Pacific, the book explores the cultural expressions of Asian North American, Asian diasporic, and Indigenous Pacific Island communities as they critique a de-historicized sense of place, attachment, and belonging. Each part of the volume begins with a poem by Craig Santos Perez, adding a poetic and artistic dimension to the scholarly discourse. Additionally, the book features a foreword by Macarena GÓmez-Barris and an afterword by Priscilla Wald, further enhancing its value and relevance.
By examining the complex interplay between empire, environment, and cultural expressions, "Empire and Environment" offers a comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to environmental violence in the transpacific region. It sheds light on the historical roots.
