Title ProperDiscourses around logging
Other Title Informationthe moral economy of wood extraction from west singhbhum's conflicted forests
LanguageENG
AuthorSareen, Siddharth
Summary / Abstract (Note)The indigenous Ho people of Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district have long coped with conflict over forests. Despite the importance wood holds for both marginalised and powerful actors, little is known about what determines informal logging locally. This ethnographic study of practices and discourses around logging in a central-eastern Indian forest division examines the views and roles of the actors and institutions involved in wood governance and logging politics. Going beyond tired accounts of state–community conflict and legal–illegal binaries, it addresses how wood extraction is framed locally, and demonstrates how logging is engendered and maintained by a local moral economy.
