Place and Postcolonial Ecofeminism: Pakistani Women’s Literary and Cinematic Fictions

Place and Postcolonial Ecofeminism: Pakistani Women’s Literary and Cinematic Fictions offers a groundbreaking exploration of the intersections between ecofeminism, postcolonial studies, and gender narratives in the context of Pakistan.

The book examines how Pakistani women writers and filmmakers portray the relationship between women, nature, culture, and power structures within a postcolonial framework. It highlights the ways in which female identities are shaped by ecological spaces, political histories, and patriarchal constraints, while also showing how creative expression can challenge dominant discourses.

Through close readings of literary texts and cinematic works, the author demonstrates how Pakistani women use fiction, film, and storytelling to resist oppression, reclaim agency, and articulate visions of social justice and ecological harmony. The work situates these narratives within both local cultural realities and global ecofeminist debates, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars of gender studies, postcolonial literature, cultural studies, and environmental humanities.
