A Political Ecology of Kenya’s Mau Forest

A Political Ecology of Kenya’s Mau Forest

Lisa Elena Fuchs

James Currey
2023
sidottu
A timely and important examination of the environmental crises, investigating their biophysical, political, economic, and socio-cultural aspects, that reveals why previous conservation efforts failed. The eastern part of the Mau Forest, the most important closed-canopy forest in East Africa, has come under severe threat since the 1990s. In this political ecology Lisa Fuchs exploring the failure of the government-led forest restoration and rehabilitation initiative to 'Save the Mau', launched in 2009, the author examines two of the most contentious issues in Kenya since colonial times: land and the environment. She sheds light on the structural factors and the role of individuals in the forest's destruction and of non-protection and traces the colonial legacy of post-independent environmental conservation policies and practices. In doing so, Fuchs demonstrates that the Mau crisis is more than an environmental crisis: it is also a political, an economic, and a socio-cultural crisis. Though a detailed empirical analysis, the author shows that the 'Mau crisis' led to the near collapse of landscapes and livelihoods in the Mau Forest ecosystem. She traces the implementation of insufficient conservation programmes, which resulted from historical path-dependency and the adoption of global environmental governance blueprints, forest allocation and benefits, and exposes a forest management system that prioritises commercial forest production over biodiversity conservation. Access and entitlements to the highly fertile forest land, and the amalgamation of forest rehabilitation with the reclamation of grabbed public forest are emphasised as a further core contributor to the crisis. The socio-cultural dynamics within and among various forest-dwelling communities, including the indigenous hunting and gathering Ogiek and 'in-migrant' groups, are also analysed. The book highlights that local types of environmentalism are caught between the 'invention of traditions' and 'perverse modernisation' and shows the contradictory effects of the celebrated, highly anticipated but poorly executed 'Save the Mau' initiative, and how the presence of political will to maintain the crisis conditioned its perseverance. Finally, the book proposes realistic alternatives to sustainable forest management in politicised environments, whose relevance and applicability are considerable in this age of anthropogenic 'environmental' crises and conflicts.

Italian Kids Songs and Rhymes: A Mama Lisa Book Italy A land with a rich tradition of children's songs and rhymes In this book we've gathered over eighty Italian songs and rhymes, presented in their original language and with translations into English. Many have commentary sent to us by our correspondents around the world. It's an ideal resource for teachers of the Italian language, parents who want to share memories with their children, and anyone who loves the Italian culture. You'll find nursery rhymes like "Batta le Manine" (Clap Your Hands), songs like "La bella lavanderina" (The Pretty Washerwoman) and Christmas carols like the beloved "Tu scendi dalle stelle" (You Come Down from the Stars). Italy has been at the center of Western civilization for thousands of years, and we've included representatives from that entire time span. So you'll even find a few songs in Latin, the language of the Roman Empire and the Church, like "Personent hodie" (This Day Resounds), a carol from the 1500's. We're also very pleased to include several songs in different Italian dialects. Italy has had varied linguistic influences over the ages and this has led to many different variants of the language still being spoken there. Many have also been preserved in immigrant communities, particularly in the US, though these are fading as the children and grandchildren of immigrants often speak only English. Yet those same people have treasured memories of the rhymes and songs their grandparents sang to them. There's not always a sharp distinction between songs sung by children and by adults. So we've included a sampling of popular traditional songs like "Santa Lucia". "Italian Kids Songs and Rhymes" is produced by Mama Lisa's World, where we work with ordinary people around the globe to build a platform to preserve and exchange traditional culture. Most of the featured songs and rhymes have been provided by our contributors, to whom we're very grateful The book works in concert with our web site. At the end of each item, there's a web address to an online version of the song or rhyme. There we are often able to include sheet music, recordings and videos of performances. We hope this book will help foster love of the Italian language and culture all over the world Grazie This book includes: -Italian songs, rhymes, lullabies, and carols -Each in the original language and with translations into English -Commentary from ordinary people about what the songs have meant to their lives -Web links to recordings and sheet music -Illustrations
