*Recent Novels of Environmental Justice*
In recent years environmental justice has emerged as a major topic in the humanities. This intersection of environmentalism and social justice is motivated by a concern for the differential access to natural resources (clean water, clean air, tillable land) afforded to different groups of people within particular social systems. Students will encounter these themes thorugh the reading of many global Anglophone novels, including /Waterland/, by Graham Swift; /The Hungry Tide/, by Amitav Ghosh; /Animal's People/, by Indra Sinha; /A Thousand Acres/, by Jane Smiley; /Ceremony/, by Leslie Marmon Silko; and /Disgrace/, by J.M. Coetzee. 3 hrs. sem.
