Sivaramakrishnan -- The leopard's black and white spots -- A short settler history -- Black baboons and white rubbish trees -- Reinstating nature, reinventing morality -- The uses of animals -- Wildlife contested."The Nature of Whiteness explores the intertwining of race and nature in postindependence Zimbabwe. Nature and environment have played prominent roles in white Zimbabwean identity, and when the political tide turned against white farmers after independence, nature was the most powerful resource they had at their disposal. In the 1970s, "Mlilo," a private conservancy sharing boundaries with Hwange National Park, became the first site in Zimbabwe to experiment with "wildlife production," and by the 1990s, wildlife tourism had become one of the most lucrative industries in the country. Mlilo attained international notoriety in 2015 as the place where Cecil the Lion was killed by a trophy hunter. Yuka Suzuki provides a balanced study of whiteness, the conservation of nature, and contested belonging in twenty-first-century southern Africa. The Nature of Whiteness is a fascinating account of human-animal relations and the interplay among categories of race and nature in this embattled landscape." -- Publisher's descriptionCulture, place, and nature.Tiere(DE-588)4060087-7gndMensch(DE-588)4038639-9gndEthnische Identität(DE-588)4153096-2gndWeisse(DE-588)4132038-4gndWildlife managementfast(OCoLC)fst01175323WhitesRace identityfast(OCoLC)fst01174825Race relationsfast(OCoLC)fst01086509Nature conservationfast(OCoLC)fst01034632Wildlife managementZimbabweNature conservationZimbabweWhite peopleRace identityZimbabweSimbabwegndZimbabwefastZimbabweRace relationsTiere.Mensch.Ethnische Identität.Weisse.Wildlife management.WhitesRace identity.Race relations.Nature conservation.Wildlife managementNature conservationWhite peopleRace identity305.80906891Suzuki Yuka1071050MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910164923703321The Nature of Whiteness2565755UNINA
