This comprehensive volume delves into eleven contemporary environmental justice narratives from Kerala, the southwestern state in India. Providing a detailed review of environmental literature in Malayalam, the selected eco-narratives are presented through two key literary genres: life narratives and novels, conveying the socio-environmental pressures, problems, and anxieties of modern, globalizing Kerala. Additionally, this text undertakes primary investigations of "toxic fictions" and "extractivist fictions," encompassing Malayalam novels that narrate the disastrous consequences of the permeation of toxic pollutants in human and ecosystemic bodies and novels that chronicle the impact of exploitative mining activities on the environment.
All eco-narratives analyzed in the book exhibit the familiar pattern of the "Global South environmental narratives," namely, a close imbrication of the ecological and social spheres.
Reading Contemporary Environmental Justice argues that these selected eco-texts offer inspiring scenarios where the subaltern people demonstrate the audacity, or courage, to claim their rightful place in society and on the Earth. This volume will be indispensable for those seeking to expand their understanding of environmental justice and the harmful effects of development and modernisation.
