Summary:"Contests over knowledge are central to contests over environments. Many of those contests are not just about 'good science' or 'bad science', but over the idea of nature itself: the idea that the nature that science makes known to the world is set apart from 'culture' or 'society', or that nature is comprised of objects -- rivers, fish, soil -- the knowledge of which lies outside social life and democratic politics. Contested Ecologies: Dialogues in the South on Nature and Knowledge focuses on moments in which contests over ecology become moments for rethinking this ecology of knowledge. The chapters cover a wide variety of settings -- from urban Cape Town to indigenous activism in Peru; from Mugabe's Zimbabwe to the Benguela ecosystem fisheries, and include protected area in the Aboriginal territories of northern Australia."--Back cover
