Description:What sets [the book] apart...is the study's greatest hook: its approach to the obvious connection between 'little Masoala' in Zurich and the real Masoala in Madagascar. Rather than include discussion of the zoo exhibit in a provocative preamble or epilogue, the author considers it with well-deserved seriousness and care, connecting her extensive study of it to that of the Malagasy communities in which she worked." . Andrew Walsh, University of Western Ontario "Keller looks beyond glossy promotions... [Her] analysis is never dry or overly academic, and will be a rewarding read for experts in the field along with those new to the issues." . Nigel Rothfels, University of Wisconsin-MilwaukeeThe global agenda of Nature conservation has led to the creation of the Masoala National Park in Madagascar and to an exhibit in its support at a Swiss zoo, the centerpiece of which is a mini-rainforest replica. Does such a cooperation also trigger a connection between ordinary people in these two far-flung places? The study investigates how the Malagasy farmers living at the edge of the park perceive the conservation enterprise and what people in Switzerland see when looking towards Madagascar through the lens of the zoo exhibit. It crystallizes that the stories told in either place have almost nothing in common: one focuses on power and history, the other on morality and progress. Thus, instead of building a bridge, Nature conservation widens the gap between people in the North and the South.Eva Keller has been carrying out anthropological research in Madagascar since 1998 and is currently a research fellow at the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Zurich. She received her Ph.D. from the London School of Economics in 2002 and is the author of "The Road to Clarity."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
