Description

Book Synopsis
Set within the context of resource conflict and collaborative land-use planning on Haida Gwaii, this book examines how historic relations of domination and oppression can be transformed and more sustainable forms of land governance created.

Trade Review

Takeda provides a provocative and much needed explanation of the persistence of unsustainable forest practices in British Columbia … [Her] careful power analysis framework allows her to challenge established historical narratives by presenting a new and pressingly needed perspective on both collaborative ecosystem management and Indigenous land claims.
