| This volume of twelve essays reflects some of the most recent scholarly thinking on the historical relationships between tribes and forests in India. Many of the papers were originally presented in 2001 as part of a special panel of the Indian History Congress at Bhopal, sponsored by the Government of Madhya Pradesh Department of Forests. The papers in the volume emerge in dialogue with some of the major historians of environmental history in India, including Arun Agrawal, Bina Agarwal, Madhav Gadgil, Richard Grove, Ramachandra Guha, Sumit Guha, Vandana Shiva, and Ajay Skaria, among others, and should provide engaging reading for those with interests in environmental history in general and with Indian history in particular. |
