Title
The violence of conservation in Africa : state, militarization and alternatives
Author
Abstract
This review is of the edited volume that tells the story of violence in and around conservation spaces in Africa, including violence that can take place beyond protected areas (as seen with the fight against abalone poaching in Cape Town). This violence has historical roots in the colonial past, but there are also contemporary manifestations. The editors skillfully bring together practitioners, activists and scholars with different career trajectories, most of whom are based on the African continent. The book’s introduction sets everything in motion as the editors identify and discuss four conditions that underpin violence as a permanent feature of conservation in the continent. Instead of delving into all four interrelated conditions, this review will focus on the inability of African states to gain resource sovereignty
