This edited collection disrupts dominant narratives about space,
states, and borders, bringing comparative ethnographic and
geographic scholarship in conversation with one another to
illuminate the varied ways in which space becomes socialized via
political, economic, and cognitive appropriation. Societies must,
first and foremost, do more than wrangle over ownership and land
rights - they must dwell in space. Yet, historically the
interactions between the state's territorial imperative with
previous forms of landscape management have unfolded in a variety
of ways, including top-down imposition, resistance, and negotiation
between local and external actors. These interactions have resulted
in hybrid forms of territoriality, and are often fraught with
fundamentally different perceptions of landscape. This book
foregrounds these experiences and draws attention to situations in
which different social constructions of space and territory
coincide, collide, or overlap. Each ethnographic case in this
volume presents forms of territoriality that are contingent upon
contested histories, politics, landscape, the presence or absence
of local heterogeneity and the involvement of multiple external
actors with differing motivations - ultimately all resulting in the
potential for conflict or collaboration and divergent implications
for conceptions of community, autochthony and identity.
