Abstract

The present paper focuses on reconstructing the African American environmental history from the mid-twentieth century writer's viewpoint. Morrison unveils the true historical incidents that African-Americans have experienced during slavery. In this regard, the study is bluntly devoted to excavating the ills of racial slavery and its painful influence on African Americans and Southern landscapes. They are torn between its beauty and its bitter violence. This paradoxical relationship between African Americans and nature is heavily revealed. The Southern nature is the repository of all brutalities African Americans have endured at the hands of white oppressors. Thus, this paper provides a new platform to examine several salient features of ecowomanism including the embodiment of ecomemory, ecoterror, agricultural knowledge, racial differentiation, women oppression and land aggression. All these facets will exclusively be examined through the lens of Harris's ecowomanism, a theory that enhances the existence of African American women and their unique contributions in the African American environmental history.
