DeLoughrey traces how indigenous and postcolonial peoples in the Caribbean and Pacific Islands grapple with the enormity of colonialism and anthropogenic climate change through art, poetry, and literature. In these works, authors and artists use allegory as a means to understand the multiscalar complexities of the Anthropocene and to critique the violence of capitalism, militarism, and the postcolonial state. DeLoughrey examines the work of a wide range of artists and writers-including poets Kamau Brathwaite and Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner, Dominican installation artist Tony Capellan, and authors Keri Hulme and Erna Brodber-whose work addresses Caribbean plantations, irradiated Pacific atolls, global flows of waste, and allegorical representations of the ocean and the island. In examining how island writers and artists address the experience of finding themselves at the forefront of the existential threat posed by climate change, DeLoughrey demonstrates how the Anthropocene and empire are mutually constitutive and establishes the vital importance of allegorical art and literature in understanding our global environmental crisis. 650 0 Climatic changes |xEffect of human beings on. |=^A563017 650 0 Climatic changes in literature. |=^A1288935 650 0 Human ecology in art. |=^A581374 650 0 Caribbean literature |y21st century |xThemes, motives. |=^A318671 650 0 Pacific Island literature |y21st century |xThemes, motives. |=^A849447 650 0 Art, Caribbean |y21st century |xThemes, motives. |=^A402130 650 0 Art, Pacific Island |y21st century |xThemes, motives. |=^A906460 650 0 Postcolonialism in literature. |=^A515695 650 0 Postcolonialism and the arts. |=^A573609 650 0 Climatic changes |xSocial aspects |zCaribbean Area. |=^A990583 650 0 Climatic changes |xSocial aspects |zIslands of the Pacific. |=^A990583 650 7 Climatic changes |xEffect of human beings on. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01766583 650 7 Climatic changes in literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01902821 650 7 Climatic changes |xSocial aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00864268 650 7 Human ecology in art. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00962997 650 7 Pacific Island literature |xThemes, motives. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01049962 650 7 Postcolonialism and the arts. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01073034 650 7 Postcolonialism in literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01073035 651 7 Caribbean Area. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01244080 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 Pacific Ocean |zIslands of the Pacific. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01244201 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 2000-2099 |2fast 776 08 |iOnline version:DeLoughrey, Elizabeth M., 1967- author. |tAllegories of the Anthropocene |dDurham : Duke University Press, 2019 |z9781478005582 |w(DLC) 2019006483 949 |i30372017368694 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s26.95 |tJoyner48 |uJHUM |zUSD 596 1 998 5338555
