Description

Explore the complex history of environmental discourse in Africa with this academic study from Routledge. This book examines how the concept of an African environmental crisis emerged and stayed relevant through both colonial and post-colonial eras. It investigates why this specific narrative became a dominant force in development discussions. Readers will learn about the rise of the desiccation theory during early imperial administration. The text analyzes how imperial scientific knowledge often took precedence over indigenous experiences and local knowledge systems. By looking at over 150 years of research, this work provides a deep look into how science has shaped development perspectives on the continent. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of science, African development, and the evolution of environmental policy.
