This anthology of scholarly ecocritical essays offers varied and global perspectives on the representations of violations of human rights, mainly caused by anthropogenic climate change, in literature and various forms of visual media. Focusing on such forms as poem, mystery fiction, graphic narrative, cli-fi, science fiction, petrofiction, dystopian fiction, film, online documentaries, You Tube videos, animated short, etc., the volume makes a critical inquiry into the human rights dimension of climate change and strongly argues that the eco-imaginaries in literature and visual media has enormous importance in disseminating the information about climate change and preparing humanity for a society based on the principles of equality. Insightful, compelling, and authoritative, the essays in this volume critically focus on the issues of ecological imperialism, colonization, deforestation, mining, construction of dams, petrochemical contamination, environmental displacement, and how these diverse forms of ecological crisis violate multiple aspects of human rights as they disproportionately affect the social minorities, indigenous and nomadic communities, women, and other disadvantaged communities, and bring to the fore the issues of food security, public health, gender disparity, family disruption, and social violence.
