SUMMARY:Book Launch: "Ruling Nature\, Controlling People. Nature Conservati
 on\, Development and War in North-Eastern Namibia since the 1920s"
DESCRIPTION:The Book: “Recent nature conservation initiatives in Southern
  Africa such as  communal conservancies and peace parks are often embedded
  in narratives  of economic development and ecological research. They are 
 also  increasingly marked by militarisation and violence. In Ruling Nature
 \,  Controlling People\, Luregn Lenggenhager shows that these features wer
 e  also characteristic of South African rule over the Caprivi Strip (today
   Zambezi Region) in North-Eastern Namibia\, especially in the fields of  
 forestry\, fisheries and\, ultimately\, wildlife conservation. In the  pro
 cess\, the increasingly internationalised war in the region from the  late
  1960s until Namibia’s independence in 1990 became intricately  interlin
 ked with contemporary nature conservation\, ecology and economic  developm
 ent projects.”  The Author: Luregn Lenggenhager has conducted extensive 
 archival and field research  in Namibia and South Africa since 2005. His a
 reas of research include  environmental history\, historical geography and
  borderlands in Southern  Africa. He works as a postdoctoral research fell
 ow at the Centre for  African Studies Basel and as a lecturer in the Histo
 ry Department at the  University of Zurich.                         \\r\\n
