Lands at Risk in the Third World: Local-Level Perspectives
Is There a Political Ecology of the Sierra Leonean Landscape
Corruption and State Politics in Sierra Leone. William Reno. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1995. 229 pp.Fighting for the Rain Forest: War, Youth and Resources in Sierra Leone. Paul Richards. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann, 1996. 182 pp.Myth and Reality in the Rain Forest: How Conservation Strategies Are Failing in West Africa. John F. Oates. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1999. 310 pp
The Ethnography of Landscape: GIS and Remote Sensing in the Study of Forest Change in West African Guinea Savanna
In this paper we explore the application of Amazonian forest change models to the Guinea savanna environment of western Africa. In particular, we examine recent research documenting the growth of peri-village forest islands in the area of Kissidougou, Guinea, which purports to challenge the pervasive view of Guinea savanna deforestation brought about by human activity. As a more systematic approach to the analysis of human/environmental interacti…

Diminished rains and divided tasks - rice growing in three Jola communities of Cassamance, Senegal Indirass and the political ecology of flood recession agriculture the ecology of food security in the Northern Senegal wetlands shifting social and ecological mosaics in Mende forest farming the social life of Swiddens - juniors, elders and the ecology of Susu upland rice farms towards an African green revolution? - an anthropology of rice research …

Ethnography in the reconstruction of African land use histories: A Sierra Leone example
The history of vegetation and land use in western Africa includes a pattern of environmental change that can best be described as gradual, subtle, and difficult to measure accurately. As compared, for example, with the process of large-scale felling in Amazonia, deforestation in this context is not readily amenable to analysis and quantification. Local ethnographic, ecological, and ethnohistorical techniques, however, can be used to develop the i…

Deforestation History and the Ecology of Swidden Fallows in Sierra Leone
The Ecology of Wealth-in-People: Agriculture, Settlement, and Society on the Perpetual Frontier
For the Susu of northwestern Sierra Leone, rural settlement dynamics reflect a frontier culture history and the perpetuation of frontier sociopolitical arrangements in village life. Under frontier conditions people are wealth. The competition among male elders for wealth-in-people is a major determinant of village movements and the organization and deployment of agricultural labor. In this article, I explore the implications of frontier social ar…
