| Abstract: |
The accelerating environmental crisis has forced literature into a position of cultural witness, where narratives are no longer mere reflections of human struggles but active mediations of ecological survival. Contemporary American fiction increasingly grapples with climate change, species extinction, and environmental injustice, demonstrating that ecological devastation cannot be separated from social inequalities of race, class, and gender. This paper explores how four novels—Richard Powers’ The Overstory, Jesmyn Ward’s Salvage the Bones, Barbara Kingsolver’s Flight Behavior, and Louise Erdrich’s Future Home of the Living God—represent eco-justice and climate consciousness as interconnected struggles. Drawing from ecocriticism, posthumanism, and the environmental humanities, the discussion demonstrates that these texts reveal the ethical obligation of storytelling in an era of climate emergency. Fiction emerges not only as cultural record but also as ecological witness, urging collective responsibility and reimagining sustainable futures. |
