An important contribution to evolving studies on conservation of sacred natural sites (SNS), the book elucidates the complexity of development scenarios within cultural landscapes related to the appropriation of religion, environmental change in indigenous territories, and new conservation management approaches. Indigeneity and the Sacred explores how these struggles for land, rights, and political power are embedded within physical landscapes, and how indigenous identity is reconstituted as globalizing forces simultaneously threaten and promote the notion of indigeneity UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781785333972?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781785333972 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781785333972/original ER -
