Essay

Direct quotations must be distinguished from indirect quotations through the use of quotation marks. For the difference between the two, please see https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/563/01/Cite approximately two quotes (direct or indirect) per paragraph. Keep the length of each quotation to approximately 1-2 lines each time. Integrate each quote into a paragraph by discussing or commenting on it. You must demonstrate that you have read Animal’s People by quoting from the beginning, middle, and end of the novel. You must use at least 2 essays (read since 3/08) from the syllabus, excluding the novel. You may use up to 2 outside sources and, if you do, use them sparingly. Please note that outside research is secondary to the novel and the essays from the reader. All quotes (direct and indirect) must be acknowledged using parenthetical citation and a works cited page. Your works cited page or bibliography must follow the MLA or APA styles. Number your pages and indicate word count at the end of the essay.
While the Union Carbide disaster precedes the arrival of globalization in India, the Bhopal disaster (as depicted in the documentary) can be an object lesson in what can happen under a neo-liberal regime in which profit reigns supreme. In “A House on Fire,” Shrivastava and Kothari argue, “the lack of regulation is an inevitable consequence of an economy driven by demand” (128). How does deregulation and weakening environmental and social governance (i.e. conflicts of interest, lack of transparency, etc.,) contribute to the disaster in Animal’s People? What type of justice does Indra Sinha envision for the people of Kaufpur at the end of the novel? How can the lessons from Bhopal make globalization more ethically responsible? How should under-regulated nations (like India or China) balance their development goals and ecological security? What relevance (if any) do recent environmental controversies in Flint, Michigan and Porter
Ranch, California have to global environmental degradation?
