More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"A valuable and thought-provoking book. The book is readable, and the analysis mature and direct. The arguments it makes are important, both for academic debates about society and nature and for the raging policy debate about 'people and conservation."' - W. M. Adams, Environmental Planning and Management "An impressive achievement.... Given the intense and sometimes violent character of park-centered conflicts, given the pivotal role of nature tourism in the foreign-currency earnings of African countries, and given the persistence of rural poverty, Neumann's observations and arguments take on tremendous significance." - Allan Pred, Editorial Board, California Studies in Critical Human Geography
Review
"Any library, personal or institutional, that takes nature conservation or Africa seriously should contain this book. . . . Though firmly grounded in Africa, the implications of its story are much wider."--"Progress in Human Geography
