Description
Tracey Heatherington, Wild Sardinia: Indigeneity and the Global Dreamtimes of Environmentalism. Seattle and London: University of Washington Press, 2010. 314 pages. The category of indigeneity has by now become a highly mobile form, migrating not just from "original" contexts such as the Americas into new terrains such as Africa and Asia, but, astonishingly and somewhat counter-intuitively, into the margins of Europe. In Wild Sardinia: Indigeneity and the Global Dreamtimes of Environmentalism, Tracey Heatherington's interlocutors, sheep herders in central Sardinia who have for decades struggled against the establishment of a national park on their communally held land, ruefully call themselves "Indians" from whom "the land is being stolen." Yet in Sardinia as elsewhere, such local alignments with a transnationally available politics are heavily mediated by environmentalists. To them, indigenous groups are only recognizable if they behave in properly indigenous ways; if they are slottable as eco-saints seamlessly aligned with what is deemed to be appropriate ecological behavior.
