Maggie Gee’s The Red Children: An Ecocritical Reading

Author(s) Dr. Shivaji D. Sargar, Ms. Kriti Ameya Chavan

Abstract The world today faces environmental issues that are apparently irreversible. Although fresh environmental statistics and data highlight newspapers and news channels at the break of each new day, there are little mitigation measures brought into practice to alleviate the detrimental factors leading to environment degradation occurring globally. The eco-apocalyptic state of the world catalysts for a new understanding to be achieved from the human world towards the non-human world. It is observed that literature of all times has reflected the issues related to society. Writers from the past have been writing on issues related to the environment since a very lengthy span of time. Unarguably, Rachel Carson’s notable work Silent Spring (1962) revolutionized the contemporary thought drawing attention into the environmental damage caused by use of harmful pesticides. In the present day, literary voices globally are making pivotal contributions to mobilize people, institutes and organizations worldwide to spread awareness about the acute ecological challenge. In this context, the present paper delves into an eco-fictional work of Maggie Gee. Gee is a well-known contemporary British novelist whose work has been shortlisted for the Orange Prize and the International Impac Award. Many of Gee’s characters are found in constant conflict with the environmental forces. The present paper examines Gee’s recent novel, The Red Children (2022) through an ecocritical lens. This research paper uncovers the ecocritical elements in Gee’s fiction representing her as an ecocritical writer.
Keywords Climate change, environmental degradation, ecocriticism, migration, environmental justice, anthropocene.
