Sailing in uncharted waters of the Pacific in 1830, Captain Benjamin Morrell of Connecticut became the first outsider to encounter the inhabitants of a small island off New Guinea. The contact quickly turned violent, fatal cannons were fired, and Morrell abducted young Dako, a hostage so shocked by the white complexions of his kidnappers that he believed he had been captured by the dead.

This study draws together 17 cases from African, Asian and Latin American settings to ask: To what extent and in what ways do 'green grabs' constitute new forms of appropriation of nature?

Science, Society and Power: Environmental Knowledge and Policy in West Africa and the Caribbean
ISBN: 9780521535663 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book brings science to the heart of debates about globalization by exploring the globalization of science and its contrasting effects in Guinea (one of the world's poorest countries) and Trinidad (a more prosperous, industrialized and urbanized island). It focuses on environment, forestry and conservation, sciences that are central to these countries and involve resources that many depend upon for their livelihoods. Taking a unique ethnographic approach drawn from anthropology, development and science studies, the work will appeal to students and researchers across the social sciences,...

Misreading the African Landscape: Society and Ecology in a Forest-Savanna Mosaic
ISBN: 9780521564991 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Islands of dense forest in the savanna of 'forest' Guinea have long been regarded both by scientists and policy-makers as the last relics of a once more extensive forest cover, degraded and degrading fast due to its inhabitants' land use. In this 1996 text, James Fairhead and Melissa Leach question these entrenched assumptions. They show, on the contrary, how people have created forest islands around their villages, and how they have turned fallow vegetation more woody, so that population growth has implied more forest, not less. They also consider the origins, persistence, and consequences...

African-American Exploration in West Africa: Four Nineteenth-Century Diaries
ISBN: 9780253341945 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 504 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the 1860s, as America waged civil war, several thousand African Americans sought greater freedom by emigrating to the fledgling nation of Liberia. While some argued that the new black republic represented disposal rather than emancipation, a few intrepid men set out to explore their African home. African-American Exploration in West Africa collects the travel diaries of James L. Sims, George L. Seymour, and Benjamin J. K. Anderson, who explored the territory that is now Liberia and Guinea between 1858 and 1874. These remarkable diaries reveal the wealth and beauty of Africa in striking...

Reframing Deforestation : Global Analyses and Local Realities: Studies in West Africa
ISBN: 9780415185912 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This text argues that the scale of deforestation wrought by West African farmers during the 20th century has been vastly exaggerated and global analyses have unfairly stigmatized them and obscured their more sustainable, landscape-enriching practices. On a country by country basis (covering Sierra Leone, Liberia, Cote D'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin) and using historical and social anthropological evidence, it illustrates that more realistic assessments of forest cover change, and more respectful attention to local knowledge and practices, are necessary bases for effective and appropriate...
