Combining a rich ethnography with social and political history,
this book examines 300 years of social conflict over land in the
frontier-like Sundays River Valley, the scene of multiple
displacements and the location of the extended Addo Elephant
National Park. Conserved Spaces, Ancestral Places tells how the
historical relationships among farm workers, owners and
conservationists have produced a dynamic, uniquely hybrid zone. It
argues that close ties exist between farming and wildlife
conservation and shows how local inhabitants challenge boundaries
created by the narrative of wildlife ecology. It asks: Have
residents around the new conservation zones in South Africa really
benefitted from models of co-management? The subtle and deep
reading of the agrarian and environmental history of the Sundays
River Valley presented here carries important implications for
policy and practice related to conservation of protected areas in
South Africa and relates it to international thought. This book
will appeal to readers interested in environmental and agrarian
history, political ecology, displacement and space, place and
identity.
