'Ecosustainable Narratives and Partnership Relationships in World Literatures in English adds to the growing body of essay-collections curated by the Partnership Studies Group of the University of Udine, which, drawing on the work of Riane Eisler, proposes partnership models of culture and society to dismantle dominator paradigms founded on asymmetrical binaries. In the present volume, the extent to which the partnership paradigm is central varies and several of the essays extend the focus beyond world literatures in English, but overall Ecosustainable Narratives offers a series of stimulating case-studies of ways in which discourse can be re-envisioned in non-hierarchical ways.'
