Abstract
My dissertation contextualizes portrayals of water in Linda Hogan’s Solar Storms, Toni Morrison’s Beloved by Toni Morrison, Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungry Tide by, and Mahasweta Devi’s Pterodactyl, Puran Sahay, and Pirtha with regards to themes of environmental justice within these texts—particularly how each novel uses ghostly figures that appear in the water to articulate and resist colonial and ecological trauma.
