Lauret
Savoy Co-Edits New Book
September 2002
Lauret Savoy, Associate
Professor of American Studies and the Department of Earth and Environment,
has just published a new book called The
Colors of Nature: Culture, Identity, and the Natural World. Co-edited
with Alison Deming, this book reconsiders the definition of American
"nature writing" by emphasizing cultural perspective as a
lens through which to see and experience nature, environment, and place.
It includes personal essays from invited contributors (all writers of
color) that reflect on human relationships with place and the natural
world by examining questions and issues of gender, "race,"
and culture; of migration and dispossession; of inidividual and familial
identity; of economic and cultural "development"; and of environmental
racism and justice.
