Abstract

Now notorious for its aridity and air pollution, Mexico City was once part of a flourishing lake environment. In nearby Xochimilco, Native Americans modified the lakes to fashion a distinctive and remarkably abundant aquatic society, one that provided a degree of ecological autonomy for local residents, enabling them to protect their communities' integrity, maintain their way of life, and preserve many aspects of their cultural heritage. While the area's ecology allowed for a wide array of socioeconomic and cultural continuities during colonial rule, demographic change came to affect the ecological basis of the lakes; pastoralism and new ways of using and modifying the lakes began to make a mark on the watery landscape and on the surrounding communities. In this fascinating study, Conway explores Xochimilco using native-language documents, which serve as a hallmark of this continuity and a means to trace patterns of change.

Abstract

Los sistemas de andenería en los Andes centrales contribuyeron a la seguridad alimentaria y al desarrollo de las civilizaciones andinas prehispánicas. Actualmente el tejido socioeconómico andino está empobrecido, con escasa cohesión y falta de políticas coherentes que promuevan un desarrollo sustentable. El presente libro describe el origen de los sistemas de andenería en el contexto de cambio climático, geográfico, agroecológico y de ingeniería, así como su papel en la cultura y el patrimonio vivo. Se plantea que la rehabilitación de sistemas de andenería es viable en ciertas condiciones si se valora la tecnología tradicional, los servicios medioambientales que ofrecen estos sistemas, y se promueven actividades agrícolas sustentables y actividades complementarias no agrícolas que integren equitativamente a los habitantes rurales con los mercados.

Abstract

"Farming Inside Invisible Worlds argues that the farm is a key player in the creation and stabilisation of political, economic and ecological power-particularly in colonised landscapes like New Zealand, America and Australia. The book reviews and rejects the way that farms are characterised in orthodox economics and agricultural science and then shows how re-centring the farm using the theoretical idea of political ontology can transform the way we understand the power of farming. Starting with the colonial history of farms in New Zealand, Hugh Campbell goes on to describe the rise of modernist farming and its often hidden political, racial and ecological effects. He concludes with an examination of alternative ways to farm in New Zealand, showing how the prior histories of colonisation and modernisation reveal important ways to farm differently in post-colonial worlds. Hugh Campbell's book has-ranging implications for understanding the role farms play in both our food systems and landscapes, and is an exciting new addition to food studies."--
