This is an anthology of primary texts in the field of post-colonial theory, informed by contemporary thinking about the subject, and offers a wide-ranging introduction to anglophone post-colonial writings. The texts are considered "primary" in the sense that they are written by "creative writers". The editors have endeavoured to strike a balance between acknowledged "classic" texts, and works that represent characteristic aspects of post-colonial literature. The book consists of a considerable body of work by major post-colonial writers, and also acts as a source book of central post-colonial themes and theories.

This book examines how ideas about place and space have been transformed in recent decades. It offers a unique understanding of the ways in which postcolonial writers have contested views of place as fixed and unchanging and are remapping conceptions of world geography, with chapters on cartography, botany and gardens, spice, ecologies, animals and zoos, and cities, as well as reference to the importance of archaeology and travel in such debates. Writers whose work receives detailed attention include Amitav Ghosh, Derek Walcott, Jamaica Kincaid, Salman Rushdie, Michael Ondaatje and Robert Kroetsch. Challenging both older colonial and more recent global constructions of place, the book argues for an environmental politics that is attentive to the concerns of disadvantaged peoples, animal rights and ecological issues. Its range and insights make it essential reading for anyone interested in the changing physical and human geography of the contemporary world.

Examining the challenges faced by novelists writing realist fiction in the age of climate change, this open access book considers the various ways in which contemporary writers have evolved new and transformed modes of realism to grapple with the problems of living on an endangered planet. Focusing on fiction set in the long present a term used to cover the actual present, the near future and an historic past that interacts with the present Thieme argues that long-present realism negates the possibility of deferring engagement with the climate crisis on the grounds that it is a future threat. Thieme examines work by twelve novelists: Margaret Atwood, James Bradley, Amitav Ghosh, Helon Habila, Liz Jensen, Barbara Kingsolver, Ian McEwan, Richard Powers, Annie Proulx, Indra Sinha, Antii Tuomainen and Wu Ming-Yi. He provides important new insights into the methods these writers use to convey the urgency of the climate crisis and how their work can inform our understandings of the Anthropocene activity that endangers life on Earth.
