"Questioning Borders: Ecoliteratures of China and Taiwan" by Robin Visser is a nonfiction book that explores the intersection of literature and the environment in the context of China and Taiwan. The book examines how Indigenous perspectives are utilized in ecoliterature to further geopolitical goals, while also highlighting environmental awareness.
