“Wildlife between Empire and Nation makes for interesting reading and provides with a compelling birds-eye perspective on how the politics and policies of wildlife in Africa were subject to varied twists and turns during Eastern Africa’s troubled phases of colonialism, nationalism, decolonization, and the recent neoliberal ideological shift. It further underlines the importance of local control over resources while also serving a salutary warning against the idea of managing nature principally as a global trust.” (Rohan D’Souza, Journal of British Studies, May 12, 2020)
