Reviews

'Blanc has created a masterpiece in contrasts that has much to teach us about nature conservation, sustainable development , power and equity on a global scale. This book deserves a spot on the shelves of every major library, a large number of policymakers' desks and the bedside tables of many ordinary folks interested in Africa, nature conservation, social justice or the sustainable development of our planet.' Diana K. Davis, author of The Arid Lands: History, Power, Knowledge 'Guillaume Blanc, with passion as well as thorough research, pushes his readers to think anew about the relationship between humans and animals in Africa. This book is both a valuable contribution to environmental history and an argument that needs to be taken seriously about the misconceptions that often shape international interventions in that continent.' Frederick Cooper, author of Africa since 1940: The Past of the Present
