Anja Nygren reviews the 2017 book Green Wars: Colonization and Conservation in the Maya Forest by Megan Ybarra.
The authors explore the on-the-ground reality of Burunge Wildlife Management Area (WMA), stressing the misrepresentation of conservation policies in WMAs at the expense of local communities.
The authors highlight how the Indian state increasingly views adivasis (=indigenous people) as a possible ethno-environmental fix for conservation, and how non-adivasis project their environmental subjectivities to claim that they, too, belong.
