The Colonization of Local Fauna in Linda Hogan's Fiction:Using Mean Spirit,Power and People of the Whale as Examples
Linda Hogan,American Indian female writer,embodies the identity of an environmental activist and her works are full of concern for animals.Her novels realistically depict the slaughter of wild animals such as buffalos,leopards,and whales,as well as animal trade issues caused by European colonizers arriving on the American continent.From the perspective of postcolonial ecology,it can be observed that the initial cause of the animal colonization problem reflected in Hogan's novels was the white people's adherence to the"anthropocen-trism"ideology,while the Western"developmental"concept continued to drive modern animal trade.The colo-nization behavior of European colonizers on the American continent was an invasion of the biological field.
