Abstract

From the perspective of ecocriticism, this article shows that Ha Thi Cam Anh's The Son (2006) and Leslie M. Silko's Ceremony (1977) use folklore materials to express the eco-friendly philosophy towards the nature of their ethnic minority people. That feminine eco-philosophy contrasts with the masculinist culture which is showing many flaws and failures. Both writers implicitly call for a return to harmonious coexistence with nature.
