Reviews

Reviews of the 1st Edition:

“Presents an admirable set of case studies on the effects of modern conservation projects on local peoples from across the globe. The great strength of the volume lies in the diversity of cases.” • International Journal of African Historical Studies

“…this book will be the source material for future generations of researchers … The many arguments in this book will challenge and hopefully bring forward vigorous debate about the aims and goals of sustainable development and conservation tools.” • The Indigenous Nations Studies Journal

“I have nothing but praise for this book and its worth. It is written in a flawless and effortless manner. I loved the tone and how it packs in so much factorial information without the reader knowing it, but at the same time explores in-depth intimate life decisions and care giving practices that we have never seen so closely and so vividly presented.” • James J. McKenna, University of Notre Dame

“This is an excellent piece of scholarship that … draws upon a wide range of highly relevant literature which is used to make sense of the data. It illuminates a unique and compelling anthropological perspective on the lived, embodied practices of breastfeeding with particular emphasis upon the complex moral dilemmas related to breastfeeding and sleep practices.” • Fiona Dykes, University of Central Lancashire

Description

The second edition of this remarkable volume updates the immense advances in policy and soft international law with regards to the rights of mobile indigenous peoples in conservation.

The contributors to this book examine the interface between conservation and indigenous communities who are forced to move or settle elsewhere to accommodate environmental policies and biodiversity concerns. The case studies investigate successful and not so successful community-managed projects in Africa, the Middle East, South and SouthEastern Asia, Australia and Latin America.

Dawn Chatty is a former director of the Refugee Studies Centre at the University of Oxford and Fellow of the British Academy.

Marcus Colchester is a Senior Policy Advisor (and founder and former Director) at the Forest Peoples Programme (FPP).
