Publisher's Synopsis
"Make Waves: Water in Contemporary Literature and Film underscores how water is a creatively transformative symbol through which we synthesize environmental concerns and a source of cultural and political tensions exacerbated by climate change. At its core, Make Waves seeks to demonstrate that water is an immense reservoir of artistic potentiality and an agent of historical and cultural exchange. The goal of this edited book is thus two-fold: to celebrate water which is the source of life and a powerful symbol in numerous cultures and to raise awareness about global water debates and crises"--Provided by publisher.
