Human-Plant Entanglement: Thinking with Plants in the Anthropocene is an edited collection that redefines the boundaries of phytocentric scholarship. By foregrounding the question of the Anthropocene at the centre of plant studies, this book illustrates how attentiveness to plant life can allow our habitual anthropocentric/instrumental assumptions to be invaded by a unique ‘phytocentric’ impression that presents a new ethical imaginary for a human-plant relationship. With twelve carefully argued essays, this book sets a new benchmark in the field of Critical Plant Studies.
