The Current Environmental Crises Demand That We Revisit Dominant Approaches For Understanding Naturesociety Relations. Narrating Nature Brings Together Various Ways Of Knowing Nature From Differently Situated Maasai And Conservation Practitioners And Scientists Into Lively Debate. It Speaks To The Growing Movement Within The Academy And Beyond On Decolonizing Knowledge About And Relationships With Nature, And Debates Within The Social Sciences On How To Work Across Epistemologies And Ontologies. It Also Speaks To A Growing Need Within Conservation Studies To Find Ways To Manage Nature With People.This Book Employs Different Storytelling Practices, Including A Traditional Maasai Oral Meetingthe Enkiguenato Decenter Conventional Scientific Ways Of Communicating About, Knowing, And Managing Nature. Author Mara J. Goldman Draws On More Than Two Decades Of Deep Ethnographic And Ecological Engagements In The Semiarid Rangelands Of East Africain Landscapes Inhabited By Pastoral And Agropastoral Maasai People And Heavily Utilized By Wildlife. These Iconic Landscapes Have Continuously Been Subjected To Boundary Drawing Practices By Outsiders, Separating Out Places For People (Villages) From Places For Nature (Protected Areas). Narrating Nature Follows The Resulting Boundary Crossings That Regularly Occurof People, Wildlife, And Knowledgeto Expose Them Not As Transgressions But As Opportunities To Complicate The Categories Themselves And Create Ontological Openings For Knowing And Being With Nature Otherwise.Narrating Nature Opens Up Dialogue That Counters Traditional Conservation Narratives By Providing Space For Local Maasai Inhabitants To Share Their Ways Of Knowing And Being With Nature. It Moves Beyond Standard Community Conservation Narratives That See Local People As Beneficiaries Or Contributors To Conservation, To Demonstrate How They Are Essential Knowledgeable Members Of The Conservation Landscape Itself.
