TRANSHISTORICAL CONNECTIVITIES AROUND THE INDIAN OCEAN: Western Colonialism and Climate Change in Amitav Ghosh's The Nutmeg's Curse.
This article argues that Amitav Ghosh's non-fiction book The Nutmeg's Curse illustrates the ways in which the proto-global entanglement of chaotic colonial forces, which proliferates across space and time, has played an important part in the current climate change.

I aim to show this in a combined Deleuzian, postcolonial, and ecocritical reading, with elements of chaos theory meant to provide possible interpretations to climate change phenomena in Ghosh's narrative projection. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Kritika Kultura is the property of Kritika Kultura and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
