The fourth chapter is titled “ The fourth chapter is titled “ Postcolonial Ecocriticism: Afro-Indian Traditions and
West’s Catching Up”. 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, Indians and
African writers have for long discussed the role and significance of environment.
