Arctic Voices: Resistance at the Tipping Point, edited by Subhankar Banerjee (Seven Stories Press, June 19, 2012). This anthology brings together first–person narratives from more than thirty prominent activists, writers, and researchers who address issues of climate change, resource war, and human rights with stunning urgency and groundbreaking research. From Gwich’in activist Sarah James’s impassioned appeal, “We Are the Ones Who Have Everything to Lose,” during the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen in 2009 to an original piece by acclaimed historian Dan O’Neill about his recent trips to the Yukon River fish camps, Arctic Voices is a window into a remarkable region. Other contributors include Seth Kantner, Velma Wallis, Robert Thompson, Riki Ott, Nick Jans, Rosemary Ahtuangaruak, Pamela A. Miller, Andri Snaer Magnason, Cindy Shogan, and Peter Matthiessen. Arctic Voices was made possible by a generous grant from the Alaska Wilderness League. BOOK PAGE ON THE SEVEN STORIES PRESS WEBSITE

A Keener Perception: Ecocritical Studies in American Art History, edited by Alan Braddock and Christoph Irmscher (Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press, 2009). This anthology includes historian Finis Dunaway’s essay “Reframing the Last Frontier: Subhankar Banerjee and the Visual Politics of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.” The book offers a series of case studies on topics ranging from John White’s watercolors of the Carolina landscape executed during Sir Walter Raleigh’s 1585 Roanoke expedition to photographs by environmental activist Eliot Porter. Studying such artists and artworks through an ecocritical lens not only provides a better understanding of these works and the American landscape, but also brings a new interpretive paradigm to the field of art history—a field that many of these critics believe would do well to embrace environmental concerns as a vital area of research.

The Alaska Native Reader: History, Culture, Politics, edited by Maria Sháa Tláa Williams (Durham: Duke University Press, 2009). This anthology includes Subhankar Banerjee’s essay “Terra Incognita: Communities and Resource Wars.“ Alaska is home to more than two hundred federally recognized tribes. Yet the long histories and diverse cultures of Alaska’s first peoples are often ignored, while the stories of Russian fur hunters and American gold miners, of salmon canneries and oil pipelines, are praised. Filled with essays, poems, songs, stories, maps, and visual art, this volume foregrounds the perspectives of Alaska Native people, from a Tlingit photographer to Athabascan and Yup’ik linguists, and from an Alutiiq mask carver to a prominent Native politician and member of Alaska’s House of Representatives. Fourteen of the volume’s many illustrations appear in color, including work by the contemporary artists Subhankar Banerjee, Perry Eaton, Erica Lord, and Larry McNeil. BOOK LINK
