Reviews
Pramod K. Nayar's application of the Gothic paradigm to texts emerging from the 1984 Bhopal disaster is a startling contribution to material ecocriticism and environmental justice ecocriticism. The Bhopal Gothic, in clarifying the haunted reality of this iconic event, also points to the precarity of our entire planet in the twenty-first century. This is a powerful and important book. -- Scott Slovic, University of Idaho, coeditor of The Routledge Handbook of Ecocriticism and Environmental Communication
Pramod Nayar's incisive reading of Bhopal brings cultural studies methodologies to bear on some of the most acutely pressing issues of our times. In our contemporary Anthropocene, we need activist-intellectual work of this type more urgently than ever before. -- Russell West-Pavlov, Universitat Tubingen
