Environmental Crisis and Human Rights: Literary and Cultural Representations engages with the human rights implications of anthropogenic environmental crisis through a critical reading of a wide spectrum of literary (cutting across forms and genres) and cultural texts (including movies and web series) from different parts of the world. The eighteen theoretically informed essays included in the collection highlight how race, caste, class, gender and ethnicity (among other markers of identity) contribute to and complicate human experiences of environmental degradation. The essays address a broad range of issues involving environmental human rights such as climate migration, climate in(justice), resource extraction, neo-(colonial) intervention, politics of development, dam-induced displacement and the violation of the indigenous usufruct rights to the environment. The volume illustrates that the Anthropocene is not a unitary concept, rather a fractured discourse; and environmental crisis, far from being monolithic in nature, is determined by socio-economic particularities and cultural specificities of different human communities across the globe.
