Governing Maya Communities and Lands in Belize

Indigenous Rights, Markets, and Sovereignties

Beschreibung

In Belize, conservation NGOs push for wildlife sanctuaries to protect endangered ecosystems. State actors authorize timber extraction to generate revenue for debt repayment. Maya communities, dispossessed by state and NGO strategies, pursue claims for Indigenous rights to lands. This book explores the conflicting forms of governance that emerge as these trajectories intersect.
