Indigeneity and the Sacred : Indigenous Revival and the Conservation of Sacred Natural Sites in the Americas Hardback
Edited by Fausto Sarmiento, Sarah Hitchner
Part of the Environmental Anthropology and Ethnobiology series
Hardback
Description
This book presents current research in the political ecology of indigenous revival and its role in nature conservation in critical areas in the Americas.
An important contribution to evolving studies on conservation of sacred natural sites (SNS), the book elucidates the complexity of development scenarios within cultural landscapes related to the appropriation of religion, environmental change in indigenous territories, and new conservation management approaches. Indigeneity and the Sacred explores how these struggles for land, rights, and political power are embedded within physical landscapes, and how indigenous identity is reconstituted as globalizing forces simultaneously threaten and promote the notion of indigeneity.
