Beskrivning

This collection undertakes the study of ecopolitical movements across the world from a critical standpoint. Through its use of terms like 'primitiveness' and 'pristine nature', conservation ideology perpetuates a patronising approach towards indigenous peoples alongside the unequal distribution of power and wealth. This careful, anthropological argument should lead us to question our assumptions about environmental protection.

"This is an excellent collection of articles...All are clearly written and any of them could be used in undergraduate teaching. Moreover, the range of case studies is impressively global...The articles all exhibit a good capacity to provoke...The result is an enjoyable book that is likely to be useful to teachers, students and practitioners of environmentalism."Anthropological Forum
