FOREWORD

Writing a foreword is a tricky enterprise, especially on a book like Woman-Nature Interface: An Ecofeminist Study. Now, we have to begin somewhere and I would like to quote a few sentences from Adrienne Rich’s book On Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution. She outlines the, “simple idea that women are as intrinsically human as men, that neither women nor men are merely the enlargement of a contact sheet of genetic encoding, biologically givens. Experience shapes us, randomness shapes us, the stars and weather, our own accommodations and rebellions, above all, the social order around us”.

            Dipak’s book does just that. The collection of essays focuses on studies on ecology with emphasis on global perspectives and environmental activism, apart from woman centered narratives in select female novelists and in other narratives, like ballads of Bengal.  The essays focus on diverse authors like Katherine Mansfield, Sarojini Naidu, Kamala Das, Anita Desai, Roy and several others. However, the nexus between nature and woman had been the focus of ancient Indian literature as is shown in the study of Kalidasa’s Shakuntala. Whereas the character of Shakuntala has been sketched from a natural perspective, Shakespeare’s plays like The Tempest and The Taming of the Shrew analyse the woman as well as nature from a male point of view. Such literature has been aptly substantiated by articles on ecofeminism and environmental movements in India and Pakistan in agricultural and economic sectors. There is also a return to historical narratives as well as a fresh insight into the nature versus culture debate within the context of rapid globalization.

            Finally, the author- cum- editor has been quite proficient in recent years with the publication of several books on Indian writing, especially novel and drama within the ambience of postcolonial studies. Collected editions on gender studies, diasporas, homosexuality and transgender issues have been edited by him.

            This book on Woman Nature Interface illustrates how woman centered narratives can be contextualized within the parameters of ecology and environment. The role of the woman becomes amplified in the dialectics between nature and culture. The editor has aptly summarized the rationale of the book in his introduction where he writes that ecology and the woman are burning issues today. The message, which the book conveys can be paralleled by an observation from Vandana Shiva, where she says that the liberation of the earth, the woman, as well as humanity is a step towards freedom and peace. Let us read this book.
