In Ecocriticism‘s sixth chapter “Dwelling” we read about “ecological imperialism” a term Garrard ascribes to Alfred Crosby. Ecological imperialism can be described as introducing new plants, animals, insects, illnesses and bacteria into a foreign biotope, leading to a tripping of its ecological balance and extinction of formerly dominant species. According to Garrard Crosby describes this as a mainly “white” phenomenon which I’m sad to say hasn’t changed much as big companies usually prefer white males for higher positions, but I digress.
