This open access book provides a unique overview of geographical, historical, political and environmental issues facing the French overseas territory New Caledonia, also called “Kanaky” by the indigenous Kanak people, who outnumber citizens of European and other origin. New Caledonia has seen a long and complex struggle for decolonization, but is still on the United Nations’ list of “Non-Self Governing territories” and there is little sign of change following three referendums on independence and extensive negotiations with France. The archipelago possesses around a quarter of the world’s nickel deposits, giving it additional strategic importance when demand for the mineral is strong. The islands have unique biodiversity, and Caledonian coastal lagoons have been listed as UNESCO world heritage sites since 2008. The book offers detailed insights into the environmental and human geographies of the archipelago, with a focus on the links between environmental protection and extensive mining operations, between political independence struggles and continued wellbeing and economic development, and the differing visions for the future of the islands. This multidisciplinary volume, one of the few to appear in English, appeals to researchers, students and policy makers across the environmental, social and political sciences.

Histoire environnementale, anthropologie de la nature, sociologie de l’environnement… : on assiste, depuis une trentaine d’années, à la multiplication de sciences humaines et sociales qui prennent l’environnement pour objet, et revendiquent de voir ainsi leur épistémologie transformée. Le foisonnement de ces labels est tel que, aujourd’hui, certains souhaitent les rassembler sous une bannière commune, celle d’« humanités environnementales ». Plutôt qu’un manifeste, cet ouvrage propose une histoire des humanités environnementales au prisme des disciplines (anthropologie, histoire, philosophie, géographie, sociologie, études littéraires, sciences politiques, économie, droit). Il retrace pour la première fois l’émergence intellectuelle et institutionnelle de ces domaines d’étude. En prêtant attention à la pluralité des débats et des controverses passés, ce livre décrypte un paysage singulier de la recherche internationale contemporaine : celui des sciences humaines et sociales aux prises avec l’environnement.
