Social Nature: Resources, Representations, and Rule in India
Synopsis
This book is a timely study on the dichotomies that have shaped the analysis of environmental processes in India. Drawing on wide-ranging field and archival research, the contributors to this volume. Offer a fresh, interdisciplinary perspective on the relationship between agrarian transformation and environmental change. Explain the dynamics of environmental conflicts in terms of mobilization and organization of cultural representations. Examine how environmental change has articulated agrarian and rural transformation in technological, cultural and political terms over the last two centuries. Combine conceptual analyses and specific case studies to understand why competing powers emphasize particular land use patterns and social relations. The essays in this volume will be of immense value to researchers and students of development, environment, history, ecology, economics, sociology, and political science, as well as policy makers.
