"Ecocritical studies have long neglected the postcolonial regions of the world, so it's refreshing and timely to see a collection of essays focused entirely on Africa. This collection is the first of its kind and as such is positioned to make a vital intervention in postcolonial, ecocritical, and African studies." "A groundbreaking intervention into African, postcolonial, literary, and environmental studies." (Research in African Literatures)
