Sommario/riassunto

Through an ethnographic exploration of Canada's ten UNESCO Natural World Heritage sites, Inhabited reflects on the meanings of wildness, wilderness, and natural heritage. Presenting perspectives of local inhabitants, the authors ask us to reflect on the colonial and dualist assumptions behind the received meaning of wild.
