Series Statement:
Routledge Studies in Conservation and the Environment
Content:
"This book examines theories related to the anthropology of conservation. Conservation thought and practice is power laden - conservation thought is powerfully shaped by the history of ideas of nature and its relation to people, and conservation interventions govern and affect peoples and ecologies. This book argues that being able to think deeply, particularly about power, improves conservation policy-making and practice. Political ecology is by far the most well known and well published approach to thinking about power in conservation. This book analyzes the relatively-neglected but robust anthropology of conservation literature on politics and power outside political ecology, especially literature rooted in Foucault. In doing so, it addresses a complex debate and growing tension in the context of the anthropology of conservation over the way in which practitioners and theoreticians view and treat people in the context of conservation, as well, as how local peoples view and approach conservation efforts. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of conservation, anthropology and political ecology, as well as conservation practitioners and policymakers"--
