{"product_id":"green-wars-megan-ybarra-9780520295162","title":"Green Wars: Conservation and Decolonization in the Maya Forest","description":"Global conservation efforts are celebrated for saving Guatemala's Maya Forest. This book reveals that the process of protecting lands has been one of racialized dispossession for the Indigenous peoples who live there. Through careful ethnography and archival research, Megan Ybarra shows how conservation efforts have turned Q'eqchi' Mayas into immigrants on their own land, and how this is part of a larger national effort to make Indigenous peoples into neoliberal citizens. Even as Q'eqchi's participate in conservation, \u003ci\u003eGreen Wars\u003c\/i\u003e amplifies their call for material decolonization by recognizing the relationship between Indigenous peoples and the land itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Megan Ybarra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520295161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520295162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2018","brand":"Megan Ybarra","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119768137983,"sku":"9780520295162","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80bd4c8e-81d7-4659-bd04-4ab0fc7f8bee.jpg?v=1687410843","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/green-wars-megan-ybarra-9780520295162","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
