River Cities in Asia uncovers the intimate relationship between rivers and cities in Asia from a multi-disciplinary perspective in the humanities and the social sciences. As rivers have shaped human settlement patterns, economies, culture and rituals, so too have humans impacted the flow and health of rivers. In Asia, the sheer scale of urbanization increases the urgency of addressing challenges facing urban rivers, leading to the importance of historically, socially, and culturally relevant solutions. However, cities are also uneven landscapes of power, affecting chances to achieve holistic ecological approaches. The central premise of River Cities in Asia is that a “river city” is one where proximity between a river and a city exists across time and space, natural and social dimensions. Recognition of these deep connections can help to better contextualize policy solutions aimed at rivers and their ecologies, including human life.

"In Southeast Asia reversals of earlier agrarian reforms have rolled back "land-to-the-tiller" policies created in the wake of Cold War-era revolutions. This trend, marked by increased land concentration and the promotion of export-oriented agribusiness at the expense of smallholder farmers, exposes the convergence of capitalist relations and state agendas that expand territorial control within and across national borders. Through the lens of land capitalization, Turning Land into Capital examines the contradictions produced by superimposing twenty-first-century neoliberal projects onto diverse landscapes etched by decades of war and state socialism. Chapters in the book explore geopolitics, legacies of colonialism, ideologies of development, and strategies to achieve land justice in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. The resulting picture reveals the place-specific interactions of state and market ideologies, regional geopolitics, and local elites in concentrating control over land"--

L’histoire de l’Amazonie, dont le peuplement remonte à quelque 13 000 ans, est encore largement méconnue en France. Cette immense région de 7 millions de km2 a été le théâtre de nombreuses innovations déterminantes, comme la première céramique du continent américain, la domestication de plus d’une centaine de plantes et l’édification de structures monumentales et de systèmes agricoles élaborés. Mais, au XVIe siècle, l’arrivée des Occidentaux ébranle ce creuset de biodiversité ainsi que sa population, marquant l’avènement de l’extractivisme. Menacée aujourd’hui d’un irréversible déséquilibre écologique, l’Amazonie a une histoire, qu’il est essentiel de retracer. Stéphen Rostain s’y emploie en se fondant sur les plus récentes avancées de l’archéologie, de l’histoire et de l’ethnohistoire.
