The Environment in Sustainable American Studies offers a multifaceted exploration of the environment within American Studies, featuring contributions that scrutinize the intricate relationship between culture, power, and the environment. This book presents a cutting-edge exploration of the current landscape of environmental American studies in transatlantic perspectives. It investigates this field through diverse lenses, including interdisciplinary, transnational, and activist perspectives with scholars and artists from both sides of the Atlantic. Structured in four sections, it opens with an in-depth analysis of ecological poetics intertwined with settler colonialism in regional fictions, revealing the nuanced complexities of environmental interconnectedness in literature. Further topics covered include environmental justice, Indigenous activism, the role of humanities and the arts in addressing climate change, the impact of flora and fauna in the Anthropocene, including examinations of literature's engagement with environmental concerns, as well as the integration of local and global ecologies within the American Studies curriculum. The book concludes with a section dedicated to art and climate change, where artists, curators, and activists provide critical insights into how art can reorient our focus toward pressing environmental challenges and inspire transformative shifts in our ways of living. Providing a holistic approach on the environment in American studies, this book is suitable for students, researchers and academics across a range of disciplines including American studies, literary studies, environmental studies, cultural studies, and politics.
