This book offers the first systematic study of how elite
conservation schemes and policies define once customary and
vernacular forms of managing common resources as banditry-and how
the 'bandits' fight back. Drawing inspiration from Karl Jacoby's
seminal Crimes against Nature, this book takes Jacoby's moral
ecology and extends the concept beyond the founding of American
national parks. From eighteenth-century Europe, through settler
colonialism in Africa, Australia and the Americas, to postcolonial
Asia and Australia, Moral Ecologies takes a global stance and a
deep temporal perspective, examining how the language and practices
of conservation often dispossess Indigenous peoples and settlers,
and how those groups resist in everyday ways. Drawing together
archaeologists, anthropologists, geographers and historians, this
is a methodologically diverse and conceptually innovative study
that will appeal to anyone interested in the politics of
conservation, protest and environmental history.
