The essay will focus on analyzing the two works i.e., Amitav Ghosh’s Gun Island (2019) and Helon Habila’s Oil on Water (2010) thorugh the lens of Postcolonial Eco-criticism and how the two works are the perfect example of modern day environment crisis. From the
Eco-critical point of discussion and the need to take steps in the direction of
environmental conservation while exploring writers’ responsibilities in
addressing newer problems that plague the society. The West’s Blindness and
lateness to the concept will also be questioned.
Here is the outline of the chapter. The fourth chapter is titled “ Global Environmental Crisis: Analysing Gun Island and Oil on Water through the lens of Postcolonial Ecocriticism”. With changing environmental conditions, a direct effect of
imperialism, colonialism, and resource depletion, the rise of representing it
through literature has also been escalating. Habila and Ghosh both have their
say on the portrayal of global climate change and environmental crisis of
specific geography they belong to. Gun
Island and Oil on water depict
two distinct problems of the environment, the sinking of Sundarbans and the
race for oil. The significant difference to note is where Europe and the USA
have recently started writing about the importance of the environment, Indian and
African writers have for long discussed the role and significance of environment.
