Abstract

This study provides a postcolonial ecocriticism analysis of a contemporary novel Oryx and Crake (2003) by the Canadian writer Margaret Atwood, in order to examine the Ecological Imperialism termed by Alfred W. Crosby. Amidst the massive environmental deterioration there is still unevenness among the people in pre-apocalyptic society. In the need to emphasize the representation of natural disasters that are results of misguided scientific developments and political decisions, this study break down the occurring issues by using the three forms of Ecological Imperialism; biocolonization, dualistic thinking, and environmental racism. All three forms of Ecological Imperialism occurred in the novel and were carried out through the formal elements; setting, main characters and point of view. The representation of the Ecological Imperialism in the novel is carried out through the last man survivor narrative, advancement of technology, and the oppression of the countries in Global South. The findings show the representation of Ecological Imperialism in Oryx and Crake (2003) centered in the greed of the privileged, desperation of the people, and the political prominence of the corporations.
