Informationen zum Autor Lisa Gezon received her Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Michigan, and is currently Chair and Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of West Georgia. She has ongoing research projects in Madagascar and in the Georgia Piedmont on the politics of environmental resource management, and continues her research interests in issues of political ecology in the United States and abroad. Klappentext Gezon argues that local events continuously redefine and challenge global processes of land use and land degradation. Her ethnographic study of Antankarana-identifying rice farmers and cattle herders in northern Madagascar weaves together an analysis of remotely sensed images of land cover over time with ethnographies of situated negotiations between human actors. Her book will be particularly valuable to researchers and students in anthropology, geography, sociology, and environmental studies, and those involved in conservation and resource management.
