It presents a synthesis of research conducted over a span of fifty years, mainly on the wildebeest in the Ngorongoro and Serengeti ecosystems, where eighty percent of the world's wildebeest population lives. Wildebeest and other grazing mammals drive the ecology and evolution of the savanna ecosystem. Richard D. Estes describes this process and also details the wildebeest's life history, focusing on its social organization and unique reproductive system, which are adapted to the animal's epic annual migrations. He also examines conservation issues that affect wildebeest, including range-wide population declines. 606 $aGnus$zTanzania$zSerengeti Plain 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGnus 676 $a599.64/59 700 $aEstes$b Richard$01031198 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464920303321 996 $aThe gnu's world$92448454 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03612nam 2200625 450 001 9910466803803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-5017-1370-1 010 $a1-5017-0969-0 024 7 $a10.1515/9781501709692 035 $a(CKB)3840000000334836 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4987876 035 $a(OCoLC)971248566 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse65585 035 $a(DLC) 2017004739 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0001808571 035 $a(DE-B1597)496393 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781501709692 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4987876 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11501962 035 $a(EXLCZ)993840000000334836 100 $a20170127d2017 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aWorking the system $ea political ethnography of the new Angola /$fJon Schubert 210 1$aIthaca :$cCornell University Press,$d2017. 215 $a1 online resource (270 pages) $cillustrations, maps 300 $aPreviously issued in print: 2017. 311 0 $a1-5017-1369-8 311 0 $a1-5017-1233-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aIntroduction : working the system in boomtown Africa -- 2002, year zero : the foundations of the new Angola -- Sambizanga : the affects of place and memory -- Angolanidade : mediating urbanity through race and class -- Cunhas : situational kinship and everyday authority -- A culture of immediatism : co-optation and complicity -- Against the system, within the system : the parameters of the political. 330 $aWorking the System offers key insights into the politics of the everyday in twenty-first-century dominant party and neo-authoritarian regimes in Africa and elsewhere. Detailing the many ways ordinary Angolans fashion their relationships with the system-an emic notion of their current political and socioeconomic environment-Jon Schubert explores what it means and how it feels to be part of the contemporary Angolan polity. Schubert finds that for many ordinary Angolans, the benefits of the post-conflict "New Angola," flush with oil wealth and in the midst of a construction boom, are few. The majority of the inhabitants of the capital, Luanda, struggle to make ends meet and live on under $2 .00 per day. The "New Angola" as promoted by the ruling MPLA, Schubert contends, is an essentially urban, upwardly mobile, and aspirational project, premised on the acceptance of the regime's political and economic dominance by its citizens. In the first ethnography of Angola to be published since the end of that country's twenty-seven years of intermittent violent internal conflict in 2002, Schubert traces how Angolans may question and resist the system within an atmosphere of apparent compliance. Working the System will appeal to anthropologists and political scientists, urban sociologists, and scholars of African studies. 606 $aEthnology$zAngola 606 $aPolitics and culture$zAngola 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zAngola 606 $aPostwar reconstruction$xSocial aspects$zAngola 607 $aAngola$xHistory$y2002- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aPolitics and culture 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) 615 0$aPostwar reconstruction$xSocial aspects 676 $a967.304/2 700 $aSchubert$b Jon$f1982-$01029007 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466803803321 996 $aWorking the system$92445226 997 $aUNINA
