Drawing upon concepts of sovereignty, precarity, and disaster, Sen examines Irish literary works to reveal how they engage with the entangled relations between ecology, economy, and politics. Irish writers not only critique the association of greenness with Ireland and the corporatization of sustainability discourses, they also illuminate the acute challenges that the climate crisis poses to political, social, and cultural forms in addition to ecosystems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Irish canon has historically played a crucial role in Irish nationalism. But contemporary works are written at a time when questions of statehood and citizenship are yielding to the cross-border, multi-generational pressures of climate breakdown. Writing in the shadow of modernity's rhetorical and carbon emissions, contemporary authors are skeptical of business-as-usual sustainability jargon emanating from institutions. Instead, they focus on the local variations of the planetary-level threats dominating the discourse of the Anthropocene, placing the country in a webwork of ecological and geo-political relations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCleverly written and groundbreaking in scope, Sen's analyses shows that Ireland's postcolonial identity can be especially helpful to analyze the cultural footprint of the climate crisis\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMalcolm Sen \u003c\/b\u003eis the director of the Environmental Humanities Specialization and an associate professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
