Five Troops for Every Tree: Lamenting Green Carnage in Contemporary Arab Women's War Diaries. Sinno, N. Arab Studies Quarterly, 36(2):107–127, 2014. ![Five Troops for Every Tree: Lamenting Green Carnage in Contemporary Arab Women's War Diaries [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex Stories about "green carnage" often get lost among headlines, which most often emphasize civilian and material costs in times of war. War's violation of the environment, however, has serious repercussions for the communities who have strong economic, emotional, and sociopolitical ties to the land. Using Ecocriticism as a framework, I provide a close textual analysis of five contemporary war diaries by Arab women, Suad Amiry's (2004) Sharon and My Mother-in-Law: Ramallah Diaries, Riverbend's (2005) Baghdad Burning: Girl Blog from Iraq, Zena El-Khalil's (2006) "Beirut Update," IraqiGirl's (2009) IraqiGirl: Diary of a Teenage Girl in Iraq, and Laila El-Haddad's (2010) Gaza Mom: Palestine, Politics, Parenting, and Everything in Between. I demonstrate howthese environment-centered diaries engage with contemporary debates about the impact of militarization on the environment and how that environmental impact affects the inhabitants. I argue that these counter-narratives demonstrate an increasingly prominent environmental consciousness among civilians in war-torn countries in the Middle East.
