"This book asks how life writing from the southern hemisphere impacts how we understand and read life narratives and perceive our planet. Redressing global alignments that champion the north, it critical examination of life stories provide a countervailing and alternative perspective that unsettles, challenges and enriches the imaginative norms that have informed life writing studies so far. Looking at writing from South America, southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand and as far down as Antarctica, this collection brings together writers and scholars in the oceanic humanities, postcolonial, Global South and polar studies, and presents works on human, animal and plant life captured in words, music, performance, visual arts and photography"--mehr
