Hispanic Ecocriticism finds a rich soil in the main topics of
environmental concern in the literature of Latin America and Spain,
not only as a source for renewing critical analysis and hermeneutics,
but also for the benefit of global environmental awareness. In a
renewed exchange of transatlantic relationships, Hispanic Ecocriticism
intermingles Latin American ecocritical issues of interest — the oil
industry; contamination of forests and rivers; urban ecologies;
African, Andean, and Amazonian biocultural ecosystems — with those
of interest in Spain — animal rights and the ecological footprints
of human activity in contemporary narratives of eco-science fiction,
in dystopias, and in literature inspired by natural or rural
landscapes that conceal ways of life and cultures in peril of
extinction.
