In Rock | Water | Life, Lesley Green examines the interwoven realities of inequality, racism, colonialism, and environmental destruction in South Africa, calling for environmental research and governance to transition to an ecopolitical approach that could address South Africa's history of racial oppression and environmental exploitation. Green analyses conflicting accounts of nature in environmental sciences that claim neutrality amid ongoing struggles for land restitution and environmental justice. Offering in-depth studies of environmental conflict in contemporary South Africa, Green addresses the history of contested water access in Cape Town; struggles over natural gas fracking in the Karoo; debates about decolonising science; the potential for a politics of soil in the call for land restitution; urban baboon management, and the consequences of sending sewage to urban oceans.

Focusing on moments in which contests over ecology become moments for rethinking the ecology of knowledge, the papers in this volume engage contests over nature in a wide variety of settings, from urban Cape Town and indigenous activism in Peru to Mugabe's Zimbabwe and the Benguela ecosystem fisheries and protected areas in Aboriginal territories of northern Australia. The contributors to this book have been part of an 18-month-long research project that explores contests over ecologies in Southern Africa, Latin America, and Australia. The product of three writing workshops over that period and two visits by each of the international writers, the book sets up a wonderfully rich dialogue across the global south.

Based on more than a decade of research in Palikur lands known as
Arukwa in the state of Amapa, Brazil, "Knowing the Day, Knowing the
World" reconsiders the dialogue between formal scholarship and
Amerindian ways of knowing. Beginning and ending with a public
archaeology project in the region, the book engages head-on with
Amerindian ways of thinking about space, time, and personhood.
Demonstrating that Palikur knowledges are based on movement and a
careful theorization of what it means to be present in a place, the
book makes a sustained case for engaging with different ways of
knowing. It shows how this kind of research can generate rich
dialogues about nature, reality, and the ethical production of
knowledge.
