- Summary:
- "In Possessed Landscapes, anthropologist Tomas Cole grounds the Salween Peace Park's creation in the context of Indigenous concepts of ownership and autonomy and culminates in Cole's argument that the Salween Peace Park is a form of liberation conservation, in which the demand to create a protected area is deeply wedded to the demand for self-determination"-- Provided by publisher.
