Subject: Re: Women and the environment readings?



Hi all--some Pacific literature suggestions in answer to Liz's request 
for women's writing focusing on nature. What about Patricia Grace's 
Potiki which presents the struggle of a group of Maoris to keep their 
land despite large pressure from developers.  There's also Haunani-Kay 
Trask's book of poetry, Light in the Crevice Never Seen and her book of 
essays, From a Native Daughter.These don't  all work just with nature 
and environmental issues but they do have deep roots in issues of land.
