War by nature
Archival Aerial Photographs of Africa
Archival aerial photographs are a unique but underused and potentially game-changing source to study twentieth-century environmental and climate change dynamics. While satellite imagery with comparable high resolution appeared only in the early twenty-first century, archival aerial imagery with native sub-1-meter resolution became ubiquitous in the 1940s. Archival aerial photography therefore quadruples the time depth of high-resolution analysis …

Environmental Infrastructure in African History
Environmental Infrastructure in African History offers a new approach for analyzing and narrating environmental change. Environmental change conventionally is understood as occurring in a linear fashion, moving from a state of more nature to a state of less nature and more culture. In this model, non-Western and pre-modern societies live off natural resources, whereas more modern societies rely on artifact, or nature that is transformed and domes…
Genocide in the Kampongs? Dutch nineteenth century colonial warfare in Aceh, Sumatra
The late-nineteenth-century, Dutch colonial conquest of the Aceh sultanate on Sumatra was protracted and brutal, costing the lives of tens of thousands of its inhabitants, causing the displacement of tens of thousands more, and resulting in the destruction of hundreds of villages. Much of the fertile Aceh River delta was left a smoking ruin due to Dutch scorched-earth tactics. Critics in the Netherlands accused their government of volkerenmoord, …
De-Globalisation and Deforestation in Colonial Africa
Models of environmental change derived from the Nature–Culture dichotomy posit a pre-colonial state of Nature subsistence economy that is penetrated by a colonial market economy Culture. In the modernisation paradigm of environmental change, the interaction is seen as positive: (natural) resources are more effectively used. In the declinist and inclinist paradigms, the result is environmental degradation. The history of cattle in the Angolan-Nami…
The Nature-Culture Trap
During the late 20th century, the modernization, the declinist, and the inclinist paradigms dominated how environmental change was conceptualized, analyzed, and described. Each paradigm was treated as being exclusive, global and universal in scope. Although the paradigms differed in how they evaluated the direction and outcome of environmental change, a characteristic they had in common was that they framed change in a unilinear Nature-to-Culture…
