Abstract
Alice walker, an iconic African-American, is one of the influential feminist writers in literature. She, in her works, has delineated how the African-American women have faced oppressions in terms of race, class and ethnicity and has lambasted both sexist and racist hegemony in addition to promoting an ecocentric worldview by dint of womanism. Her The Color Purple (1982) depicts how women as well nature are subjected to continuous exploitation and draws interconnectedness between women and nature. The paper shows how both women and nature are being exploited, subjugated and oppressed by the patriarchal world and how Celie, Shug Sofia and Squeak have been able to develop their life through eco-friendly ways of life by bucking against trouble-ridden situations.
