Book Synopsis

Through an ethnographic exploration of Canada’s ten UNESCO Natural World Heritage sites, Inhabited reflects on the meanings of wildness, wilderness, and natural heritage. Presenting perspectives of local inhabitants, the authors ask us to reflect on the colonial and dualist assumptions behind the received meaning of wild.



Trade Review
"Artfully crafted and extremely accessible, Inhabited is informed by a spirit of modesty and generosity throughout its pages. Nothing compares to this book in its scope, contemporary relevance, and empirical depth, and its contemporary political and social importance can hardly be overstated in an era of global environmental change and anxiety." Tim Edensor, Manchester Metropolitan University
"The range of people the authors speak to, and the respect with which they heed their words, is an impressive model of ethnographic fieldwork. The book is, admirably, not written from above, or below even, but somewhere in the messy middle where our everyday lives occur, matching the relational wildness for which the authors advocate." Gavin Van Horn, Center for Humans and Nature
