Based on three years of ethnographic research in the Yukon, the author examines the complex relationship between the people of Kluane First Nation, the land and animals, and the state. This book moves beyond conventional models of colonialism, in which the state is treated as a monolithic entity, and instead explores how state power is reproduced through everyday bureaucratic practices - including struggles over the production and use of knowledge.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49730195226897,"sku":"NGR9780774809849","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51882426007825,"sku":"CIN0774809841G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53220181704977,"sku":"GOR014811475","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0774809841.jpg?v=1770372173"},{"product_id":"knowing-nature-book-mara-j-goldman-9780226301419","title":"Knowing Nature","description":"Political ecology and science studies have found fertile meeting ground in environmental studies. While the two distinct areas of inquiry approach the environment from different perspectives - one focusing on the politics of resource access and the other on the construction and perception of knowledge - their work is actually more closely aligned now than ever before. \"Knowing Nature\" brings together political ecologists and science studies scholars to showcase the key points of encounter between the two fields and how this intellectual mingling creates a lively and more robust framework for the study of environmental politics. The contributors all actively work at the interface between these two fields, and here they use empirical material to explore questions of theoretical and practical import for understanding the politics that surround nature-society relations, from wildlife management in the Yukon to soil fertility in Kenya. In addition, they examine how various environmental knowledge claims are generated, packaged, promoted, and accepted (or rejected) by the different actors involved in specific cases of environmental management, conservation, and development. Finally, they ask what is at stake in the struggles surrounding environmental knowledge, how such struggles shape conceptions of the environment, and whose interests are served in the process.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50265352339729,"sku":"CIN0226301419G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52316601614609,"sku":"CIN0226301419VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0226301419.jpg?v=1750876432"},{"product_id":"sovereignty-s-entailments-book-paul-nadasdy-9781487522070","title":"Sovereignty's Entailments","description":"In recent decades, indigenous peoples in the Yukon have signed land claim and self-government agreements that spell out the nature of government-to-government relations and grant individual First Nations significant, albeit limited, powers of governance over their peoples, lands, and resources. Those agreements, however, are predicated on the assumption that if First Nations are to qualify as governments at all, they must be fundamentally state-like, and they frame First Nation powers in the culturally contingent idiom of sovereignty.   Based on over five years of ethnographic research carried out in the southwest Yukon, Sovereignty’s Entailments is a close ethnographic analysis of everyday practices of state formation in a society whose members do not take for granted the cultural entailments of sovereignty. This approach enables Nadasdy to illustrate the full scope and magnitude of the \"cultural revolution\" that is state formation and expose the culturally specific assumptions about space, time, and sociality that lie at the heart of sovereign politics.   Nadasdy’s timely and insightful work illuminates how the process of state formation is transforming Yukon Indian people’s relationships with one another, animals, and the land.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51029611446545,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51029614067985,"sku":"NIN9781487522070","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52532958789905,"sku":"NLS9781487522070","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/148752207X.jpg?v=1763481499"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-paul-nadasdy.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
