    Science fiction and magical realism: African environmentalism in the organic fantasy of Nnedi Okorafor
    (University of the Western Cape, 2022) Malgas, Lester; Moolla, Fatima
    This is a work of ecocriticism—the interdisciplinary study of literature and environment— which takes as its point of departure the environmental and literary insights of Amitav Ghosh in The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable (2016). According to Ghosh the conventions of literary realism, and the context within which those conventions gained ascendancy, present a range of shortcomings in respect of the depiction of climate change in literature.
