They are also increasingly marked by militarisation and violence. In \u003cem\u003eRuling Nature, Controlling People\u003c\/em\u003e, Luregn Lenggenhager shows that these features were also characteristic of South African rule over the Caprivi Strip region in North-Eastern Namibia, especially in the fields of forestry, fisheries and, ultimately, wildlife conservation. In the process, the increasingly internationalised war in the region from the late 1960s until Namibia's independence in 1990 became intricately interlinked with contemporary nature conservation, ecology and economic development projects. By retracing such interdependencies, Lenggenhager provides a novel perspective from which to examine the history of a region which has until now barely entered the focus of historical research. He thereby highlights the enduring relevance of the supposedly peripheral Caprivi and its military, scientific and environmental histories for efforts to develop a deeper understanding of the ways in which apartheid South Africa exerted state power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luregn Lenggenhager\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3906927008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783906927008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basler Afrika Bibliographien\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.59d","brand":"Luregn Lenggenhager","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46110616092927,"sku":"9783906927008","price":41.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6655f2e4-aa20-4553-a43e-8f7fbae2946c.jpg?v=1725469290","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ruling-nature-controlling-people-luregn-lenggenhager-9783906927008","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
