This volume unravels the underlying power relations that are masked
in the present discourse of ecological sustainability and conflicts
over natural resources. Current discussions on environment
emphasise the use and abuse of the environment in various ways.
This book looks at the inter-linkages of discourse, resources, risk
and resistance in the contemporary neoliberal world. While
exploring the experiences of neoliberalisation of nature in India,
it brings out the intersections of conservation and management,
science and gender, community politics and governance policies. The
volume highlights the cultural politics of resistance from multiple
sites and regions in India in the recent context (be it land,
water, forest, flora or fauna or urban commons). It discusses the
ways in which environmental issues have come up and been
appropriated, while examining the role of the State and actors such
as corporates, traders, consultants, ecotourism companies, green
activists and consumers, and consequences of 'green' appropriation
and the 'growth' story. The major themes of the volume are the
interrelations of nature, culture and power; neoliberal governance
and the environment; access to and use and management of land,
natural resources and environment; community politics and
livelihoods; marginalised groups and local communities;
marketisation and the environment; and new forms of
re-appropriation and resistance. This book will be of great
interest to students and researchers in sociology, environmental
studies, environmental history, environmental anthropology,
political ecology, political science, geography, law and human
rights, economics and development studies as well as to
environmental activists, policy makers and those in media and
journalism.
