Eunice Blavascunas is Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Environmental Studies at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington.
The three environmental policy positions and their exemplary
representatives would be enough to turn the study into a cutting
edge look at the recent past and present of one of the world's most
controversial and at the same time most vulnerable ecosystems.
Blavascunas can and wants to do more, namely not only to write
ethnographically, but also to convince. It expressly does not
absolutize the Kossaks, Szumarskis and Korbels, as would
contemporary historical approaches, whose narratives cannot do
without heroes and a simple conclusion: for or against the jungle
and its preservation or deforestation. But it sets other accents;
it is about a mapping of what would be possible outside of this
pro-contra dichotomy. . . . Foresters, Borders, and Bark Beetles .
. . dares a partisan intervention for the not so human actors in an
ancient forest.
