Lloyd Alimboyao Sy

Lloyd Sy works on American literature, mostly from the long nineteenth century, focusing on Native literatures and the environmental humanities. Sy's first book project reads the history of deforestation and the nineteenth-century American logging industry next to the works of Native writers who respond to the environmental and economic transformations of settler colonialism; broadly, it aims to register how these authors discern forms of life possible amidst ecological devastation.
