Misreading the African Landscape: Society and Ecology in a Forest-Savanna Mosaic - African Studies
Fairhead, James (University of London)
African forest landscapes are often considered as degraded. However, this fascinating 1996 study reveals how inhabitants have enriched their land when scientists believe they have damaged it. It provides a framework for ecological anthropology, and a challenge to old assumptions about the African landscape.
