Creating Africas - Struggles Over Nature, Conservation and Land

Conflicts between protected areas and surrounding populations continue in many parts of Africa despite decades of attempts at solving these. This book argues that what is at stake is often the creation of different realities, and examines the local and global effects of this struggle.
