This book explores the interplay between the transformative vision of feminist environmental humanities and the critical contribution of feminist speculative fiction to the debate about the climate crisis. It intervenes in the debate about the master narrative of the Anthropocene – and about the one-dimensional perspective that often characterises its literary representations – from a feminist perspective that also aims at decolonising the imagination. The ecofeminist stance of this book is informed by intersectionality and decolonial feminism and looks at dystopian and post-apocalyptic literary texts that consider the patriarchal domination of nature in its intersections with other injustices that play out within the Anthropocene. The study analyses the work of a variety of authors from several Anglophone literatures, focusing mainly on Alexis Wright, Nnedi Okorafor and N. K. Jemisin, and drawing comparison with authors such as Cherie Dimaline, Vandana Singh, and Jesmyn Ward.
