Book excerpt: Additionally, this project combines developing Western scientific knowledge of plant capacity with Indigenous ecological knowledges of plants to evaluate the role of plants as storied matter in 20th and 21st century Black women's literature. In so doing, this project also explores the subtle yet profound convergences of African American studies and Indigenous American studies, arguing that refoliation depends on an ecofeminist view of nature that departs from Western ways of being and knowing. As an alternative to Western ways of being and knowing nature, considering this set of primary texts-Black women's literature spanning 1937 to 2011-with Indigenous ecological knowledges offers us a set of BIPOC perspectives of the Anthropocene in the Anthropocene. Ultimately, this project suggests that literary plants from marginalized perspectives have something to teach readers in the Anthropocene about interdependent communal survival of both humans and nature.
