Nobody but Peter Huang could have written this book. Linda Hogan and Contemporary Taiwanese Writers is an utterly unique, insightful, and endearing study of one of America’s most eloquent environmental writers and her connections with environmental and aboriginal writers on the island of Taiwan. This is a beautiful example of comparative, ecofeminist, animal-oriented, environmental justice, postcolonial, and ecopoetic scholarship.

This book crosses boundaries, connects worlds, and makes a difference. I-Min Huang is the first person to connect the work of Linda Hogan to matters of Taiwanese indigeneity through comparative analyses about environmental issues. This book opens doors for important future research.

Peter I-min Huang’s Linda Hogan and Contemporary Taiwanese Writers: An Ecocritical Study of Indigeneities and Environment is an original and an in-depth study of Linda Hogan’s novels and ecopoetry from a mélange of environmental humanities perspectives: postcolonial and environmental justice ecocriticism, and ecofeminist and animal studies; but not only. What makes the book thoroughly original is Huang’s masterful analysis of Hogan’s work in relation to contemporary Taiwanese writers, using the ethical insights and ecological arguments provided by indigenous studies scholars. This comparative analysis of Hogan and Taiwanese writers, performed in a theoretically sophisticated but also in an easy-to-understand way, widens the scope of environmental literary and cultural criticism by bridging the often undetected gaps in overlapping areas of research in the field of the Environmental Humanities.

Just as Linda Hogan connects environmental literature with indigenous struggles for life—for gender, species, and environmental justice—and brings these struggles to voice through her lyrical fiction and poetry, so too does Peter Huang serve as an ecocritical border-crosser, connecting indigenous North American struggles with the struggles and literature of indigenous Taiwanese. This readable, literate volume expands our understanding of indigeneity as both a global and deeply-rooted, local approach to resisting colonization and cherishing all life on earth."
