ISBN: 978-93-92760-62-4

Publisher: KY Publications

This edited volume explores the vital intersections of gender, identity, and the environment as portrayed in English literature. Reclaiming Voices brings together a range of critical perspectives that foreground marginalized experiences—whether shaped by ecological displacement, gendered oppression, or cultural silencing. In a time marked by environmental crises and social upheavals, literature becomes a powerful space for resistance, reflection, and reimagination.

The book invites scholars to examine how writers reclaim agency through ecofeminist narratives, postcolonial ecologies, indigenous storytelling, and queer ecocritical frameworks. It delves into how identity and environment intersect in literary texts, reshaping our understanding of voice, body, and place.

Aimed at students, researchers, and educators, this collection contributes to the growing body of interdisciplinary literary scholarship that challenges dominant paradigms and centers narratives of resilience and reclamation.
