Analysis of the relationship between eco imagination and eco-philosophy. Literature has been used as a lens to magnify issues within the society and environment at large. Literary writers such as Kamau Brathwaite and Derek Walcott use poetry to symbolize the effects left behind by colonialism. Walcott alludes to the tourism taking place as a form of oppression that leads to environmental degradation.  Colonialists, through capitalism, want to erect tourist attractions such as malls that are a modern way of separating them from what is rightfully their own, their land, roots, and home. Val Plumwood’s androcentrism and anthropocentrism expose the masculinity within the environment with a more significant detailed look into feminist theories that lay focus on the plight of all women and how androcentrism not only affects them but the environment as well.
