Ruling Nature, Controlling People

Více o knize

The book explores the complex interplay between nature conservation initiatives and militarization in Southern Africa, particularly focusing on the Caprivi Strip during South African rule. It reveals how forestry, fisheries, and wildlife conservation were intertwined with the region's international conflicts from the late 1960s to Namibia's independence in 1990. By examining these connections, the author sheds light on the often-overlooked historical significance of the Caprivi, emphasizing its role in understanding the dynamics of state power under apartheid.
