Ramutsindela, M., Matose, F. and Mushonga, T. (eds.) (2022). The Violence of Conservation in Africa: State, Militarisation and Alternatives. Cheltenham: Edward Elgar.
The anchor text of the violence-of-conservation literature. Its publisher describes it as focusing on “how the dehumanization of black people and indigenous groups, the insertion of global green agendas onto the continent, a lack of resource sovereignty, and neoliberal conservation account for why violence is a permanent feature of conservation in Africa.” Its chapters cover militarization, the greening of the state and non-violent conservation. The wiki takes from it the core meaning of conservation violence. The proposition that exclusion from catchment finance is a form of it is Michael Haupt’s, and the volume does not make it.
