Reviews

The subtitle of Sharlene Mollett and Thembela Kepe's admirably, coherent and tightly argued new volume, Land Rights, Biodiversity Conservation and Justice is 'Rethinking Parks and People'. The contributors' multidisciplinary approach, broadly oriented within political ecology, places environmentalist justifications for forced removals and the extrajudicial killings of 'poachers' in stark relief. - Scott Burnett, South African Journal of International Affairs
