Reclaiming the Forest Published February 2020 Reclaiming the Forest The Ewenki Reindeer Herders of Aoluguya Kolås, Å. & Xie, Y. (eds)

The reindeer herders of Aoluguya, China, are a group of former hunters who today see themselves as “keepers of reindeer.” To some, their future seems troubled, but this volume’s literary and academic contributions instead focus on the present, as the Ewenki attempt to reclaim their forest lifestyle and develop new forest livelihoods.

NIMBY is Beautiful Published April 2017 Nimby Is Beautiful Cases of Local Activism and Environmental Innovation around the World Hager, C. & Haddad, M. A. (eds)

NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) protests are often criticized as parochial and short-lived, generating no lasting influence on broader processes related to environmental politics.  This volume offers a different perspective.  Drawing on cases from around the globe, it demonstrates that NIMBY protests, although always arising from a local concern in a particular community, often result in broader political, social, and technological change.

Beyond the Lens of Conservation Published April 2017 Beyond the Lens of Conservation Malagasy and Swiss Imaginations of One Another Keller, E.

This ethnography examines how the cooperation between a national park in Madagascar and a Swiss zoo is perceived by ordinary people at either end. One view focuses on power and history, the other on morality and progress. Nature conservation therefore widens the gap between people in the North and South.
