Full Description
The idea in Post Green: Literature, Culture, and the Environment is not to create another binary like East/West, but rather a call for a shift in the order of perception. The contributors signal a movement from the conventional understanding of green thinking—acknowledging human-centered limitations of the green approaches and recognising the immense possibilities and holistic perspectives that a symbiotic human-nature perspective offers. This book proposes to move beyond the monoculture of the mind toward a celebration of diversity and plurality. While the movement from red to green was a politics of difference, as essays in this book emphasize, the shift toward post green is based on an all-inclusive and holistic vision that contains within itself both difference and multiplicity, something that is quintessential for the stability of our ecosystem. Such affirmative bio-politics toward an alternative symbiosis challenges intellectual theorising, without minimizing the need for radical questioning. It urges the need to do away with disciplinary boundaries drawing hopes for a new spiritual geography of the mind to surface.
