While the field of sentient landscapes has gained critical attention, the literature rarely seems to question the intentionality of sentient landscapes, which are often romanticized as pure, good, and just, and perceived as protectors of those who are powerless, indigenous, and colonized. The book takes a new stance on sentient landscapes with the intention of dispelling the denial of “coevalness” represented by their scholarly romanticization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“Enriched by contributions focused on different regions and blending historiographic, ethnographic and media materials, Coțofană and Kuran’s volume is a much-needed reminder about the troublesome connections linking theories of environmental sentience, landscape representations, and nationalism.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Piergiorgio Di Giminiani\u003c\/strong\u003e, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This is a timely book that tackles some of the most divisive dynamics contemporary liberal democratic societies across the world are grappling with.
