Lands of the Future by Echi Christina Gabbert
Rangeland, forests and riverine landscapes of pastoral communities in Eastern Africa are increasingly under threat. Abetted by states who think that outsiders can better use the lands than the people who have lived there for centuries, outside commercial interests have displaced indigenous dwellers from pastoral territories.“The chapter case studies significantly expand data on specific locales within Ethiopia where rangeland, river basins, and forests vital to pastoralists are being developed by both Ethiopian and international interests…Recommended” • Choice
“Explains clearly how changes in pastoral and agro-pastoral land use/lease in East Africa lead to environmental degradation and depletion of resources… a very important book.” • Taddesse Berisso, Addis Ababa University
“The overall volume is highly coherent, well integrated, ethnographically convincing as well as written with technical clarity and sober positioning …no comparable material exists in scope and focus.” • Felix Girke, University of Konstanz
