Environmentality Agrawal Arun Paperback
In Kumaon in northern India, villagers set hundreds of forest fires in the early 1920s, protesting the colonial British state's regulations to protect the environment. In his innovative historical and political study, Arun Agrawal analyzes this striking transformation. Yet by the 1990s, they had begun to conserve their forests carefully.
In so doing, he demonstrates that scholarship on common property, political ecology, and feminist environmentalism can be combined--in an approach he calls environmentality--to better understand changes in conservation efforts. He describes and explains the emergence of environmental identities and changes in state-locality relations and shows how the two are related. Such an understanding is relevant far beyond Kumaon: local populations in more than fifty countries are engaged in similar efforts to protect their environmental resources.Agrawal
