Catastrophe and Human–Nonhuman Relationships in Degraded Environments

Description	I analyze select passages from Uzma Aslam Khan's Thinner Than Skin and Alexis Wright's Carpentaria alongside colonial environmental management laws and practices to illustrate that the environmental vulnerability of marginalized Indigenous communities is strategically produced through legal and administrative mechanisms. The novels I work with here reveal the role that animals play in helping characters prepare for, cope with, and recover from catastrophe. They also exemplify how fictional texts can make catastrophe more conceptually manageable and can generate opportunities to reimagine catastrophe and post-catastrophe recovery through a decolonial lens. Book Name: Climate Change, Ecological Catastrophe, and the Contemporary Postcolonial Novel
