Beskrivelse

Peace parks are imagined landscapes and seascapes created through narratives and science. This book uses a political ecology framework to explore the colonial and uneven geography of peace parks in post-independence Africa. It illuminates the regional milieus impacting these parks and the consequent socioecological and political dynamics.

This book curates a space for multiple voices and knowledges of peace parks and highlights the limit to truth claims. It presents peace parks as a milieu that enables the assemblage of underexamined concepts in political ecology. The book advances four arguments. The first is that critical scholarship on the peace parks initiative in Africa and elsewhere has been crowded out by a dominant and well-sponsored narrative of these parks. Second, the ideology of peace parks capitalises on societal aspirations and challenges to wage the ‘war of the mind’. Third, peace parks are a geographical expression of coloniality. The fourth argument is that the regional dynamics account for the uneven geography of peace parks in Africa. These dynamics reveal the symbiotic relations between politics and ecology. The founding of peace parks animates resource politics but also depoliticises the resource question.

Situated in the ongoing debates on protecting the planet in an unequal world and the pathways for a just society, this book will be of interest to researchers of African studies, political ecology, human geography, sociology, environmental studies, and political science.
