The Rise of Conservation in South Africa: Settlers, Livestock, and the Environment 1770-1950
ISBN: 9780199541225 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Rise of Conservation in South Africa is an innovative contribution to the growing comparative field of environmental history. Beinart's major theme is the history of conservationist ideas in South Africa. He focuses largely on the livestock farming districts of the semi-arid Karoo and the neighboring eastern Cape grasslands, conquered and occupied by white settlers before the middle of the nineteenth century. The Cape, like Australia, became a major exporter of wool. Vast numbers of sheep flooded its plains and rapidly transformed its fragile natural pastures. Cattle also...

ISBN: 9780415114684 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The influence of human economies and cultures on ecosystems is particularly striking in the new worlds into which Europeans expanded over the past 500 years. Using a comparative approach, Beinart and Dubow examine the neglected historical subject of settler incursion and dominance. They also seek to explain change in indigenous ideas and practices towards the environment. This work culminates with a discussion of the rise of popular environmentalism and traces its manifestations down to the present day.

Environment and Empire
ISBN: 9780199562510 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) European imperialism was extraordinarily far-reaching: a key global historical process of the last 500 years. It locked disparate human societies together over a wider area than any previous imperial expansion; it underpinned the repopulation of the Americas and Australasia; it was the precursor of globalization as we now understand it. Imperialism was inseparable from the history of global environmental change. Metropolitan countries sought raw materials of all kinds, from timber and furs to rubber and oil. They established sugar plantations that transformed island ecologies. Settlers...

Prickly Pear: A Social History of a Plant in the Eastern Cape
ISBN: 9781868145300 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) While there are many studies of the global influence of crops and plants, this is perhaps the first social history based around a plant in South Africa. Plants are not quite historical actors in their own right, but their properties and potential help to shape human history. Plants such as prickly pear tend to be invisible to those who do not use them, or at least on the peripheries of people's consciousness. This book explains why they were not peripheral to many people in the Eastern Cape and why a wild and sometimes invasive cactus from Mexico, that found its way around the world over...

Popular Politics and Resistance Movement
ISBN: 9781868145188 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This volume explores some of the key features of popular politics and resistance before and after 1994. It explores continuities and changes in the forms of struggle and ideologies involved, as well as the significance of post-apartheid grassroots politics. Is this a new form of politics or does it stand as a direct descendent of the insurrectionary impulses of the late apartheid era? The scale of popular protest in the 2000s does not rival that of the 1970s and 1980s, but posing questions about continuity and change before and after 1994, as some of these papers do, in itself raises key...

African Local Knowledge & Livestock Health: Diseases & Treatments in South Africa
ISBN: 9781847010834 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Understanding local knowledge has become a central academic project among those interested in Africa and developing countries. In South Africa, land reform is gathering pace and African people hold an increasing proportion of the livestock in the country. Animal health has become a central issue for rural development. Yet African veterinary medical knowledge remains largely unrecorded. This book seeks to fill that gap. It captures for the first time the diversity, as well as the limits, of a major sphere of local knowledge. Beinart and Brown argue that African approaches to animal health rest...

A Long Way Home: Migrant Worker Worlds 1800-2014
ISBN: 9781868147670 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In no other society in the world have urbanization and industrialization been as comprehensively based on migrant labor as in South Africa. Rather than focusing on the well-documented narrative of displacement and oppression, A Long Way Home captures the humanity, agency, and creative modes of self-expression of the millions of workers who helped build and shape modern South Africa. The book spans a 300-year history beginning with the exportation of slave labor from Mozambique in the 18th century and ending with the strikes and tensions on the platinum belt in recent years. It shows...

ISBN: 9781138154575 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The influence of human economies and cultures on ecosystems is particularly striking in the new worlds into which Europeans have expanded over the past five hundred years. Using a comparative and multidisciplinary approach, Beinart and Coates examine this neglected aspect of the history of settler incursion and dominance in two frontier nations, the USA and South Africa. They also seek to explain change in indigenous ideas and practices towards the environment, and discuss the rise of popular environmentalism up to the present day.
