Abstract
In this paper I use postcolonial ecocriticism to show that, although Bart Wolffe laments enÂvironmental injustice in his writing, he embraces a contradictory ecological vision and fails to expose and tackle the entangled nature of oppression. Wolffe says almost nothing about injustices amongst humans in the postcolonial context within which his work was written. He fails to acknowledge that injustices amongst humans lead to injustice against nature. He also depicts an imperialist outlook that either sees Africa as a blank space ready for occupation or sees Africans as a blemish on apristine and unspoiled landscape untouched by westernisation and industrialisation.
