To this view, the Sahrawi camel pastoralists of Western Sahara contrapose the Arabic term \u003cem\u003ebadiya\u003c\/em\u003e to describe an animated landscape. After five decades of exile as refugees in southwestern Algeria, the Sahrawi have struggled to reconfigure the \u003cem\u003ebadiya\u003c\/em\u003e, recovering camel husbandry and access to part of the former rangeland, and weaving it back as seasonal nomadism. \u003cem\u003eDesert Entanglements \u003c\/em\u003eanalyzes this process as an act of place-making focused on refugees' agency. Drawing from approaches in environmental and multispecies anthropology, ethnobiology, and political ecology, it contributes to the exploration of human-nature relationships in these unraveling times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042824814935,"sku":"9781805398165","price":93.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781805398165.jpg?v=1750955804","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/desert-entanglements-9781805398165","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
