The questions that inspired this study are central to
contemporary research within environmental anthropology, political
ecology, and environmental history: How does the introduction of a
modern, capitalist, resource regime affect the livelihood of
indigenous peoples? Can sustainable resource management be achieved
in a situation of radical commodification> of land and other
aspects of nature? Focusing on conflicts relating to forest
management, mining, and land rights, the author offers an
insightful account of present-day challenges for indigenous people
to accommodate aspirations for ethnic sovereignty and
development.
