This edited collection disrupts dominant narratives about space,
states, and borders, bringing comparative ethnographic and
geographic scholarship in conversation with one another to
illuminate the varied ways in which space becomes socialized via
political, economic, and cognitive appropriation. Societies must,
first and foremost, do more than wrangle over ownership and land
rights - they must dwell in space. Yet, historically the
interactions between the state's territorial imperative with
previous forms of landscape management have unfolded in a variety
of ways, including top-down imposition, resistance, and negotiation
between local and external actors. These interactions have resulted
in hybrid forms of territoriality, and are often fraught with
fundamentally different perceptions of landscape. This book
foregrounds these experiences and draws attention to situations in
which different social constructions of space and territory
coincide, collide, or overlap. Each ethnographic case in this
volume presents forms of territoriality that are contingent upon
contested histories, politics, landscape, the presence or absence
of local heterogeneity and the involvement of multiple external
actors with differing motivations - ultimately all resulting in the
potential for conflict or collaboration and divergent implications
for conceptions of community, autochthony and identity.

This new book is the second volume in a two-volume "mini-series"
devoted to representing diverse and innovative ecocritical voices
from throughout the world, particularly from developing nations
(the first volume, Ecoambiguity, Community, and Development,
appeared in 2014). The vast majority of existing ecocritical
studies, even those which espouse the "postcolonial ecocritical"
perspective, operate within a first-world sensibility, speaking on
behalf of subalternized human communities and degraded landscapes
without actually eliciting the voices of the impacted communities.
We have sought in Ecocriticism of the Global South to allow
scholars from (or intimately familiar with) underrepresented
regions to "write back" to the world's centers of political and
military and economic power, expressing views of the intersections
of nature and culture from the perspective of developing countries.
This approach highlights what activist and writer Vandana Shiva has
described as the relationship between "ecology and the politics of
survival," showing both commonalities and local idiosyncrasies by
juxtaposing such countries as China and Northern Ireland, New
Zealand and Cameroon. The two volumes of the Ecocriticism of the
Global South Series point to the need for further cultivation of
the environmental humanities in regions of the world that are,
essentially, the front line of the human struggle to invent
sustainable and just civilizations on an imperiled planet.
