Conservation Is Our Government Now by Paige West
An ethnographic examination of the history and social effects of conservation and development efforts in Papua New Guinea
“Conservation Is Our Government Now is a timely and significant contribution to contemporary critical scholarship on conservationMore than any other study of which I am aware, it provides an ethnographically rich, nuanced account of the encounter between conservation practitioners and a local community. It is an exemplar of the power of ethnographic writing to reveal other subjectivities and other ways of being.”—J. Peter Brosius, coeditor of Communities and Conservation: Histories and Politics of Community-Based Natural Resource Management
“Incisive, moving, and beautifully written, Conservation Is Our Government Now is an absolutely exemplary study and a completely absorbing narrative. It is quite simply one of the most sophisticated political ecology books I have read to date.”—Neil Smith, author of The Endgame of Globalization
