Dissertation Research: Land, Ethnicity, and Nation: Struggles Over Land Use in the Ecuadorian Amazon

达勒姆/索耶9310622 可持续发展和资源保护的条件往往是以狭义的经济术语为模型的。 与此相反，本项目调查厄瓜多尔亚马逊地区帕斯塔萨鲁纳土著社区内社区政治背景下的土地使用情况。 目的是了解指导不同家庭农业实践和政治意愿的力量。 将采用三种方法工具。 第一，对刀耕火种系统中的农业技术进行分析，绘制多层次土地使用图（刀耕火种农业、经济作物生产和放牧），详细说明实际做法，并审查资源集约化和/或枯竭的指标。 第二，访谈家庭成员引出历史的土地利用变化，资源冲突，和家庭的隶属关系与当地的印第安人联合会或农民组织的理解。 第三，对国家、教会、土著关系和国家裁判立法的档案研究，为东方印第安人不断变化的种族和法律的关系提供了历史性的见解。 这项研究在两个方面具有重要意义。 它通过调查土著人民实行无害生态的土地使用和保持政治化的族裔身份的条件，促进了关于土著资源管理和族裔问题的学术研究。 在考察本土政治和土地利用的完善沿着殖民前沿，研究扩展了目前的知识，在新热带地区的可持续农业的选择。 ~ u F V F V 9V ~ | 9F v ı F W W ( Times New Roman 符号Arial & & & " H ：E：E R { 达勒姆索耶摘要论文摘要#达勒姆索耶论文摘要雷蒙德·哈姆斯雷蒙德·哈姆斯

Durham/Sawyer 9310622 The conditions under which sustainable development and resource conservation can occur are frequently modeled in narrow economic terms. In contrast, this project investigates land use in the context of community politics within an indigenous community of the Pastaza Runa of Ecuadorian Amazon. The goal is to understand the forces directing distinct households' agricultural practices and political allegiances. Three methodological tools will be employed. First, the analysis of agricultural techniques in swidden systems and the mapping of multi-level land use (swidden agriculture, commercial crop production, and cattle grazing) detail actual practices and examine indicators for the intensification and/or depletion of resources. Second, interviews with household members elicit historical understandings of land use changes, resource conflicts, and households' affiliation with the local Indian federations or Campesino organization. Third, archival research of state, church, indigenous relations and state adjudicational legislation presents historical insight into changing racial and legal relations of Indians in the Oriente. The research is significant on two counts. It contributes to scholarship on indigenous resource management and ethnicity by investigating the conditions under which indigenous peoples practice ecologically sound land use and maintain a politicized ethnic identity. In examining refinements in native politics and land-use along the colonization frontier, the study extends current knowledge of options of sustainable agriculture in the neotropics. ~ u F V F V 9V ~ | 9F v ı F W W ( Times New Roman Symbol & Arial & & & " h : E: E R { durham sawyer abstract abstract dissertation#durham sawyer dissertation abstract Raymond Hames Raymond Hames
