Free Download Environmental Infrastructure in African History: Examining the Myth of Natural Resource Management in Namibia (Studies in Environment and History) by Emmanuel Kreike
English | May 13, 2013 | ISBN: 110700151X | 254 pages | PDF | 6.31 Mb
Environmental Infrastructure in African History offers a new approach for analyzing and narrating environmental change. Environmental change conventionally is understood as occurring in a linear fashion, moving from a state of more nature to a state of less nature and more culture. In this model, non-Western and premodern societies live off natural resources, whereas more modern societies rely on artifact, or nature that is transformed and domesticated through science and technology into culture. In contrast, Emmanuel Kreike argues that both non-Western and premodern societies inhabit a dynamic middle ground between nature and culture. He asserts that humans- in collaboration with plants, animals, and other animate and inanimate forces – create environmental infrastructure that constantly is remade and reimagined in the face of ongoing processes of change.
