Reviews
“The core chapters will certainly serve as useful critical companions to graduate and undergraduate courses on literature, visual art, and landscape seeking a diversity of global perspectives. … The Environmental Imaginary also makes an important contribution to the burgeoning field of the environmental humanities by questioning the very terms in which current debates over development, climate change, and the value of the human and the more-than-human are carried out.” (Darien Lamen, Luso-Brazilian Revie, Vol. 53 (2), Winter, 2016)
"Just as Brazil is one of the most prominent green sites on the planet, Malcolm K. McNee, with his unique study, is poised to be an authoritative voice in ecocriticism of contemporary Brazilian poetry and visual arts. What he sees and hears reverberates throughout the hemisphere and around the world." - Charles A. Perrone, Professor of Spanish & Portuguese Studies, University of Florida, USA, and author of Seven Faces, Brazilian Poetry since Modernism and Brazil, Lyric, and the Americas
"In this seminal and sensitive study of contemporary poetry and visual arts from Brazil, Malcolm McNee expands our understanding not only of the Environmental Imaginary, but also of the aesthetical, historical, and philosophical challenges of our time. Through a careful and delicate analysis of the work of four poets, Manoel de Barros, Astrid Cabral, Sérgio Medeiros and Josely Vianna Baptista, and four artists, Frans Krajcberg, Bené Fonteles, Lia do Rio, and Nuno Ramos, McNee's book brings a fresh air and a renewed approach to literary studies, attuned with the most contemporary reflections on ethno-anthropology, and ecocriticsm." - Marília Librandi-Rocha, Assistant Professor of Brazilian Literature and Culture, Stanford University, USA
