Life Writing in the Posthuman Anthropocene

The volumeâs eight chapters illustrate the aptness of life writing and life writing studies to critically reevaluate the role of âthe humanâ vis-Ã -vis non-human others while remaining mindful of persisting inequalities between humans regarding who causes and who suffers damage in the Anthropocene age.
