Genuine Disagreement about Conservation by Frank Muttenzer. 330 $aThis book examines the history and impact of environmental change in Madagascar. Drawing on interdisciplinary, ethnographic methodologies, the book presents local and global perspectives on current environmental changes and their drivers, from mining to development and deforestation. The book emphasizes the embeddedness of Malagasy peoples? social relationships with the natural environment, and contrasts this with the way the Malagasy environment is viewed by international conservation organizations. Through the presentation of concrete case studies, the contributors assess the current controversy over the history and nature of human impact on the environment in Madagascar, and offer innovatory insights into how these controversies, which plague current policy making, can be settled. Frank Muttenzer is Privatdozent and Senior Lecturer in Anthropology at the University of Lucerne Gwyn Campbell is Founding Director of the Indian Ocean World Centre at McGill University, Canada. Jacques Pollini, a trained agronomist and academic researcher, is currently a Development Worker at the GIZ (German Society for International Cooperation) in Kindu, DR-Congo. 410 0$aPalgrave Series in Indian Ocean World Studies,$x2730-9711 606 $aHuman ecology$xHistory 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aAfrica$xHistory 606 $aEnvironmental History 606 $aModern History 606 $aAfrican History 615 0$aHuman ecology$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aAfrica$xHistory. 615 14$aEnvironmental History. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aAfrican History. 676 $a304.209691 676 $a304.209691 700 $aMuttenzer$b Frank$01372909 701 $aCampbell$b Gwyn$0290154 701 $aPollini$b Jacques$01372910 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734894703321 996 $aPerceptions and Representations of the Malagasy Environment Across Cultures$93403816 997 $aUNINA
