Edited by UGA anthropology professor Robert Rhoades, Building Human and Ecological Landscapes is a synthesis of the results of an interdisciplinary research program on sustainable agriculture and natural resource management conducted in the mountainous landscape of Nanegal Parish in northwestern Ecuador. Since 1994 the SANREM team has been working in this landscape located between the confluence of the Guayllabamba and Alambi rivers.
The major themes of the book, and their individual chapters, aim to show how people and the environment have engaged each other over time to create the human and natural landscape of Nanegal. The authors demonstrate that landscapes are as much a medium of ideas and imagination of the people who live there as they are physical realities. The landscape pervades almost every aspect of daily life--and its pervasive quality derives not only from the natural lay of the land, but from the multiple ways farmers have encountered, constructed, and represented it over time. |
