This book looks at contemporary Native American and Native Hawaiian environmentally-oriented literature that critically engages with the environmental dimensions of imperialism and colonialism both in the past and in the present. Situated in the fields of Indigenous Studies and postcolonial ecocriticism, it explores how Native American authors N. Scott Momaday and Leslie Marmon Silko, Gerald Vizenor, Diane Glancy and Blake Hausman as well as Native Hawaiian writer Kiana Davenport adapt Anglo-American forms of environmental writing in order to challenge discourses of the United States as ‘nature’s nation’ and make visible the profound transformations of American and world environments in the course of empires.
