The Garifuna are a people of African and Amerindian descent who were exiled to Honduras from the British colony of St. Vincent in 1797 and have long suffered from racial and cultural marginalization.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Employing approaches from feminist political ecology, critical race studies, and ethnic studies,Keri Vacanti Brondo illuminates three contemporary development paradoxes in Honduras: the recognition of the rights of indigenous people at the same time as Garifuna are being displaced in the name of development; the privileging of foreign research tourists in projects that promote ecotourism but result in restricting Garifuna from traditional livelihoods; and the contradictions in Garifuna land-rights claims based on native status when mestizos are reserving rights to resources as natives themselves.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eBrondo's book asks a larger question: can \"freedom,\" understood as well-being, be achieved under the structures of neoliberalism? Grounding this question in the context of Garifuna relationships to territorial control and self-determination, the author explores the \"reregulation\" of Garifuna land; \"neoliberal conservation\" strategies like ecotourism, research tourism, and \"voluntourism;\" the significant issue of who controls access to property and natural resources; and the rights of women, who have been harshly impacted by \"development.\" In her conclusion, Brondo points to hopeful signs in the emergence of transnational indigenous, environmental, and feminist organizations.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50362475315473,"sku":"CIN0816530211G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0816530211.jpg?v=1751011227"},{"product_id":"cultural-anthropology-book-keri-vacanti-brondo-9780190925239","title":"Cultural Anthropology","description":"Cultural Anthropology: Contemporary, Public, and Critical Readings, Second Edition, helps students think anthropologically by introducing core concepts through engaging case studies.

Culture, Nature, and Environmental Sustainability: An Anthropological Introduction is a comprehensive, inclusive, and problem-centered guide to understanding the cultural, political, and ecological dimensions of these issues. Grounded in over a century of ethnographic inquiry, this volume examines how human communities engage with their environments—revealing that concepts such as “sustainability,” “Anthropocene,” and “environmental justice” are not only complex but also shaped by histories, power relations, and cultural perspectives.   Luis A. Vivanco and Keri Vacanti Brondo integrate diverse voices into a field often dominated by Euro-American perspectives, including Indigenous, Global South, and feminist scholarship. Each chapter begins with a pressing environmental problem and develops the analytical questions, theoretical insights, and case studies necessary to explore it. The authors address a wide range of contemporary themes, such climate, water, food systems, conservation, and multispecies relations, to equip readers to think critically, work across disciplines, and engage constructively with the complex realities of sustaining human and ecological wellbeing   Exploring both the challenges and the possibilities of sustainable futures, Culture, Nature, and Environmental Sustainability: An Anthropological Introduction:     Offers a future-oriented perspective on developing new ways of thinking and acting in response to environmental challenges Links theory, ethnography, and practice in environmental anthropology Engages with urgent global sustainability issues through real-world case studies Includes active learning features such as “Environmental Anthropology in Action” profiles and “Doing Anthropology of Sustainability” exercises Provides summaries, glossaries, and curated resources to support continued study   Written by award-winning educators with decades of teaching experience, Culture, Nature, and Environmental Sustainability: An Anthropological Introduction is ideal for intermediate and advanced undergraduates in Environmental Anthropology, Political Ecology, and Culture and Sustainability courses, particularly within anthropology, geography, sociology, and environmental studies programs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51868567208209,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51868567601425,"sku":"NGR9781119886754","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781119886754.jpg?v=1778147200"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-de\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-keri-vacanti-brondo.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
