Abstract
This article applies ecofeminist literary criticism to examine the relationship between indigenous women, nature, and healing, while exploring identity construction within minority communities. In Do Bich Thuy’s short story The Bitter Herb on the Mountain, ethnicity is portrayed as a paradigm linked to ecological space, indigenous knowledge, gender, and historical memory. The study affirms the potential disruption of essentialist conceptions of local culture and critiques center–periphery discourses in framing culture and nature, particularly amid global urbanization and urban civilization.
