The Nature of Whiteness explores the intertwining of race and
nature in postindependence Zimbabwe. Nature and environment have
played prominent roles in white Zimbabwean identity, and when the
political tide turned against white farmers after independence,
nature was the most powerful resource they had at their disposal.
In the 1970s, "Mlilo," a private conservancy sharing boundaries
with Hwange National Park, became the first site in Zimbabwe to
experiment with "wildlife production," and by the 1990s, wildlife
tourism had become one of the most lucrative industries in the
country. Mlilo attained international notoriety in 2015 as the
place where Cecil the Lion was killed by a trophy hunter. Yuka
Suzuki provides a balanced study of whiteness, the conservation of
nature, and contested belonging in twenty-first-century southern
Africa. The Nature of Whiteness is a fascinating account of
human-animal relations and the interplay among categories of race
and nature in this embattled landscape.
