Summary, etc Landscapes and the Law is situated at the crossroads of environmental, colonial and legal history. It examines the role of law in consolidating early colonial rule from the perspective of people’s access to nature in forests and hill tracts. It is concerned thus with the social history of legal processes and the making of law. The book is focussed equally on the multitude of colliding claims to land and resources and the complex ways by which customary rights in nature are redefined and codified for the purpose of securing and legitimizing colonial sovereign rule. Basing her archival and field work on the Nilgiri Hills in South India, Gunnel Cederlof explores conflicting perceptions of nature and political visions that are projected onto landscapes and people. She traces debates on property and land rights and how the empirical sciences merge with legal claims justifying land acquisition. Popular resistance strategies against such exploitation are analysed and a cross-cultural comparison made between early legal processes and social history in India, New Zealand and North America. This is a major interdisciplinary study which will be of particular interest to students and researchers of environmentalism, colonial history, law and anthropology.
