Focusing on the Mpiemu people's opposition to the establishment of natural preserves in the Central African Republic, this scholarly book investigates the disjunct between traditional African approaches to land use and modern Western approaches to conservation. The historian-author argues that conservation will fail in Africa unless conservationists listen to what the local people are saying. The book won kudos from Africanist Phyllis Martin, among others.
