Beschreibung:
Christine M. Battista is Instructional Design Specialist at Sierra Space and an independent scholar in Denver, U.S.A.
This book synthesizes ecofeminist theory, American studies, and postcolonial theory to interrogate what New Americanist William V. Spanos articulates as the "errand into the wilderness". It will be a significant discussion text for students, scholars and researchers in environmental humanities, ecofeminism, and postcolonial studies.
