Analyzing Ecological Crisis in the Selected Dystopian Fiction: An Eco-Imperial Study

Abstract

Environmental crisis has become one of the most serious concerns in the present time world. Whereas such issues have discussed by environmentalists, biologists and other scientists they have also appealed to literary authors. The present research discusses Canadian author, Margret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake and South Asian author, Khalid Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns. The study analyzes environmental crisis in the wake of pandemic virus and war. Both bring huge destruction and leave notorious impact in the selected texts. The current study utilizes the notions of eco-imperialism and ecofeminism within the broader framework of eco-criticism. The study concludes that both; land and women have been manipulated and environmental crisis resulted due to negligent practices of men.
