This Companion offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the environmental humanities, an interdisciplinary movement that responds to a world reconfigured by climate change and its effects, from environmental racism and global migration to resource impoverishment and the importance of the nonhuman world. It addresses the twenty-first century recognition of an environmental crisis - its antecedents, current forms, and future trajectories - as well as possible responses to it. This books foregrounds scholarship from different periods, fields, and global locations, but it is organized to give readers a working context for the foundational debates. Each chapter examines a key topic or theme in Environmental Humanities, shows why that topic emerged as a category of study, explores the different approaches to the topics, suggests future avenues of inquiry, and considers the topic's global implications, especially those that involve environmental justice issues.

Contributors to this special issue explore the ways literature and literary studies contribute to historical understandings and imagined futures of infrastructure under conditions of planetary ecological emergency. Focusing particularly on the infrastructures of empire and capital, as well as the local and global environmental ramifications of their historical unfolding, the authors consider the roles that literature can play in the theorization of infrastructure. The issue covers how settler capitalism has shaped the infrastructural transformation of the continent, from the settler colonial project of the nineteenth century to “transform dirt into infrastructure” to the deep entanglement of ecological emergency with the arrival of the internet in the United States. The issue also focuses on the intersections of infrastructure with the ongoing emergencies of racial oppression. It covers topics ranging from an emergent formal technique in contemporary African American fiction called “geomemory”-where the racial emergencies of the present are revealed to be the result of still-active infrastructures of the plantation-to the conglomeration of the buildings, laws, institutions, and capital markets that constitute the US healthcare system.Contributors. John Levi Barnard, Suzanne F. Boswell, Rebecca Evans, Stephanie Foote, Michelle N. Huang, Jessica Hurley, Jeffrey Insko, Andrew Kopec, Kelly McKisson, Jamin Creed Rowan
