Environmental Infrastructure in African History offers a new
approach for analyzing and narrating environmental change.
Environmental change conventionally is understood as occurring in a
linear fashion, moving from a state of more nature to a state of
less nature and more culture. In this model, non-Western and
premodern societies live off natural resources, whereas more modern
societies rely on artifact, or nature that is transformed and
domesticated through science and technology into culture. In
contrast, Emmanuel Kreike argues that both non-Western and
premodern societies inhabit a dynamic middle ground between nature
and culture. He asserts that humans in collaboration with plants,
animals, and other animate and inanimate forces create
environmental infrastructure that constantly is remade and
reimagined in the face of ongoing processes of change.
