"Jacob ATropp has written an impressive history of the state's capture of forest resources in the Transkei, between 1880 and 1930.... His book's central question is how a reading of the social interactions surrounding environmental access can reshape historical understanding." (American Historical Review) "Tropp's detailed case study of the KwaMatiwane area of the Transkei...is a major contribution to the historiography of the region." (H-SAfrica) "This environmental history is a multi-layered social history that is deeply concerned with issues of politics, culture, and gender." "A fascinating study of African responses to the colonial restrictions on access to designated government forests." "Elegantly argued and lucidly written, this book illustrates the uneven process of dispossession that Africans suffered at the hands of a divided colonial administration."
Jacob A. Tropp is an associate professor of history and Spencer Fellow in African Studies at Middlebury College. His articles have appeared in the Journal of African History, the Journal of Southern African Studies, the International Journal of African Historical Studies, and Kronos: The Journal of Cape History.
