Through this exploration, the author shows how colonial “fortress conservation” policies-game reserves, hunting concessions, and land restrictions-disrupted rural life, fueled grievances, and shaped popular participation in the wars of liberation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy comparing Portuguese and British approaches across a shared cultural and ecological region, this book challenges conventional colonial divides to reveal how conservation became entangled with nationalism, migration, and survival. Extending into the postcolonial era, it also highlights how projects like the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park carried forward legacies of exclusion under new guises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEngaging and accessible, this book is essential reading for scholars, students, policymakers, and anyone interested in African history, environmental politics, or the complex ties between people, land, and wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRichard Mtisi \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Africana Studies and History at Luther College, USA.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e03 September 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666981179\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e288\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.68\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53099313004684,"sku":"9781666981179","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_c65eae10-9793-4ae9-ae96-80f64c79ebb8.jpg?v=1790895415","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781666981179","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
