书简介：人类学家知道，保护往往会削弱本已处于弱势地位的群体的权力，而且它也无法保护环境。通过一系列的民族志研究，这本书认为，真正的问题不是“原始自然”的消失，甚至不是未受过教育的人的土地使用做法。相反，我们对文化决定的消费、生产和不平等分配模式的了解表明，批判性的关注应该更好地转向在保护意识形态中如此盛行的“原始”和“原始自然”的话语，以及它们帮助维持的历史形成的权力和交换关系。
Book synopsis: Anthropologists know that conservation often disempowers already under-privileged groups, and that it also fails to protect environments. Through a series of ethnographic studies, this book argues that the real problem is not the disappearance of "pristine nature" or even the land-use practices of uneducated people. Rather, what we know about culturally determined patterns of consumption, production and unequal distribution, suggests that critical attention would be better turned on discourses of "primitiveness" and "pristine nature" so prevalent within conservation ideology, and on the historically formed power and exchange relationships that they help perpetuate.
