• Sommario/riassunto: Drawing on a decade of fieldwork with hunters in the Everglades, this book explores the lives and labours of people, animals, and plants in this most delicate and tenacious ecosystem. Today, the many visions of the Everglades have become a tangled web of contradictory practices and politics for conservation and for development. Yet within this entanglement, the place of people remains highly ambivalent. It is the role of people in the Everglades that this book focuses on.
