Chapter 1: Unsettling Ecocriticism -- Chapter 2: The Nonhuman and the Postcolonial Eco-novel -- Chapter 3: Border Transgressions and Human-animal Relations -- Chapter 4: Collaborative Storytelling and Un/Belonging in the Australian Habitat Story -- Chapter 5:Unstable Ground and the Abiotic Nonhuman in the Regional Australian Novel -- Chapter 6:Bushfire, Drought and Settler-colonial Culpability in the Eco-crime Novel -- Chapter 7:Historical Ecofiction and the Agency of Water -- Chapter 8:Conclusion: Eco-Literary Futures.

Fetherston offers a bold imagining of recent Australian ecofictions, and their challenge to settler-colonial environmental exploitation and assumptions of belonging. By bridging literary and popular fiction in the context of climate catastrophe, the work contributes to the shape of the ecofiction genre. It will interest scholars in ecocriticism and Australian literature globally, affirming the power of storytelling in the environmental humanities. Clare Archer-Lean, Senior Lecturer in English, University of the Sunshine Coast, chief investigator, ARC funded Reading Climate project. Theorising the Postcolonial Eco-novel is a valuable critical exploration of the significance of contemporary Australian ecofiction. Tracing various manifestations of the non-human other as it appears in these novels, Fetherston offers a compelling analysis of the possibilities of empathising with the other and the ethical potential of ecofiction. Jessica Gildersleeve, Professor of English Literature, University of Southern Queensland This book explores how contemporary Australian ecofiction interrogates and challenges settler-colonial conceptions of nature and the nonhuman through a close-reading of nine Australian eco-novels. Fetherston's reading reveals the representation of the nonhuman in different contexts and the ability of fiction to destabilise settler claims on Australian land and the nonhuman. Texts covered include a combination of texts by First Nations authors, non-Indigenous Anglo-Celtic Australian authors writing within a settler-colonial literary tradition, and non-Indigenous Australian authors whose novels reflect diasporic literary practices. Fetherston argues that Australian ecofiction authors have established over the last decade a postcolonising eco-literary framework that connects the concepts of nonhuman agency and more-than human relationality with the notion of unsettlement, or unsettled belonging, in the context of the climate crisis. Rachel Fetherston is a Lecturer in Literary Studies in the School of Communication and Creative Arts at Deakin University, Australia.
