- This book is the result of 11 years research in a highly contested south-east African borderland, and challenges neoliberal transboundary conservation expansion using women’s memories of walking songs as a methodology to reconstruct histories of land and land-use practices. It draws on fieldwork undertaken between 2002–2013 and is the principal output from a joint grant from the South African National Research Foundation and the Norwegian Research Council. It relates ethnomusicological research to critical issues in international development, gender, environmental justice and local economic access to resources, and explores the historical tensions between macro-level spatial development and local dwelling practices.
