Description:
An exploration of the relationship between Mediterranean mobile pastoralism and nineteenth-century French forestry through case studies in Provence, French colonial Algeria, and Ottoman Anatolia.
Review Quotes: "Duffy provides a concise and thought-provoking assessment of the decline of Mediterranean pastoralism in the modern era. She ably introduces the generalist to the regional history of French forest administration. For scholars of the modern Mediterranean, Nomad's Land will serve as a culmination of recent developments in several subfields of environmental history, offering them an important opportunity to take stock, to reflect further on important transnational connections, and to chart new paths forward for national and regional histories."--Jackson R. Perry, Agricultural History
