Global Visions, Local Landscapes : A Political Ecology of Conservation, Conflict, and Control in Northern Madagascar (Globalization and the Environment)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Gezon argues that local events continuously redefine and challenge global processes of land use and land degradation. Her ethnographic study of Antankarana-identifying rice farmers and cattle herders in northern Madagascar weaves together an analysis of remotely sensed images of land cover over time with ethnographies of situated negotiations between human actors. Her book will be particularly valuable to researchers and students in anthropology, geography, sociology, and environmental studies, and those involved in conservation and resource management.
