(Re)presenting Environmental Racism and Posthumanism in Waberi’s Harvest of Skulls

African literary scholars have largely focused on the West in their studies especially on the gender and segregation together with issues of racism. However, scanty attention has been given to environment and ecological issues. Therefore, this paper focuses on (Re)presenting Environmental Racism and Posthumanism in Waberi’s Harvest of Skulls. It draws insights from Rosi Braidotti’s theory of Ecocriticism known as Posthumanism which posits that human beings must rectify, preserve and build any destructive objects, houses, animals, society and environmental achievement and advancements. The findings reveal the insouciant nature of African leaders to maintain peace, solutions are proffered right from the title using euphemism to douse tension as well as keep readers in suspense to read the work. This research recommmends the support of ‘Signifying Mother Earth’ as a component of Posthumanism so as to maintain serenic environment and better health to curb any destructive war that may be susceptibly detrimental to the physical, psychological, political and economical growth of Africa and the Africans around the globe.

Abstract

African literary scholars have largely focused on the West in their studies especially on the gender and segregation together with issues of racism. However, scanty attention has been given to environment and ecological issues. Therefore, this paper focuses on (Re)presenting Environmental Racism and Posthumanism in Waberi’s Harvest of Skulls. It draws insights from Rosi Braidotti’s theory of Ecocriticism known as Posthumanism which posits that human beings must rectify, preserve and build any destructive objects, houses, animals, society and environmental achievement and advancements. The findings reveal the insouciant nature of African leaders to maintain peace, solutions are proffered right from the title using euphemism to douse tension as well as keep readers in suspense to read the work. This research recommmends the support of ‘Signifying Mother Earth’ as a component of Posthumanism so as to maintain serenic environment and better health to curb any destructive war that may be susceptibly detrimental to the physical, psychological, political and economical growth of Africa and the Africans around the globe.
