棕榈树下的呐喊(暂名)

In the Shadow of the Palms: More-Than-Human Becomings in West Papua

语言:英语

长度:320页

《棕榈树下的呐喊》探讨了印度尼西亚西巴布亚油棕榈种植园中的多物种纠缠关系,包括生态变化如何改变西巴布亚土著马林德人的儿童和儿童养育方式等。正如书中指出的,棕榈油行业对环境的破坏性影响早已不是什么秘密:它是热带森林砍伐的主要推手之一,也是全球变暖的重大推动力。作者展示了马林德社区如何理解和应对油棕榈植物带来的社会和环境需求。通过生动的民族志报道,作者描绘了这一“植物殖民者”对当地生态的侵害和暴力,深入探讨了马林德人、植物和动物之间的关系和相互依赖。在这一过程中,本书为我们展示了马林德人如何塑造他们不断变化的世界,并强调了本土的创造力与去殖民化人类学方法的重要性。
