Beschreibungen
This book traces the emergence of wildlife policy in colonial eastern and central Africa over the course of a century. Spanning from imperial conquest through the consolidation of colonial rule, the rise of nationalism, and the emergence of neocolonial and neoliberal institutions, this book shows how these fundamental themes of the twentieth century shaped the relationships between humans and animals in what are today Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Malawi. A set of key themes emerges—changing administrative forms, militarization, nationalism, science, and a relentlessly broadening constituency for wildlife. Jeff Schauer illuminates how each of these developments were contingent upon the colonial experience, and how they fashioned a web of structures for understanding and governing wildlife in Africa—one which has lasted into the twenty-first century.

This book traces the emergence of wildlife policy in colonial eastern and central Africa over the course of a century. Spanning from imperial conquest through the consolidation of colonial rule, the rise of nationalism, and the emergence of neocolonial and neoliberal institutions, this book shows how these fundamental themes of the twentieth century shaped the relationships between humans and animals in what are today Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Malawi. A set of key themes emerges—changing administrative forms, militarization, nationalism, science, and a relentlessly broadening constituency for wildlife. Jeff Schauer illuminates how each of these developments were contingent upon the colonial experience, and how they fashioned a web of structures for understanding and governing wildlife in Africa—one which has lasted into the twenty-first century.
Covers uniquely broad geographic and temporal frames—five countries and the entire twentieth century Documents how major shifts in the twentieth century shaped African wildlife governance in enduring ways Highlights the roles of figures such as imperial and global advocates, game wardens, park managers, hunters, farmers, nationalists, and missionaries Appeals to scholars of African history, imperial history, colonialism and postcolonial studies, and environmental history
“A worthy contribution to the history of wildlife conservation in Africa. It should not only interest scholars in disciplines like anthropology, ecology, geography, history, and political science, but also conservationists and general readers. Indeed, this lucid and well-documented work aptly advances the debate on wildlife conservation not just in Africa, but also more broadly.” (Reuben Matheka, Associate Professor of History, Egerton University, Kenya)<p>“This is an ambitious book that more than meets its promise. Jeff Schauer’s painstaking research on five African countries reveals the way in which wildlife conservation ideas and personnel circulated in the region and produced unique regimes embedded in their time and place. At the heart of these circulations are African workers and politicians managing a resource in which global audiences have been—and remain—invested.” (Julie Weiskopf, Assistant Professor of History, Gonzaga University, USA)<br></p>
