Swidden agriculture has long been considered the primary cause of deforestation throughout Southeast Asia. Following this logic, government authorities excluded the Indigenous people of Palawan from their ancestral lands after World War II and forced them to abandon traditional modes of land use. After adopting ostensibly modern and ecologically sustainable livelihoods, they have experienced drought and uncertain weather patterns, which they have blamed on their own failure to observe traditional social norms that are believed to regulate climate. Such norms, including local customary modes of punishment for violators of incest taboos and other transgressions, have, like swidden agriculture, been outlawed by the Philippine state. In Mountains of Blame, Will Smith uses historical records and over twelve months of ethnographic fieldwork to examine statements about changing weather, processes of dispossession, and experiences of climate-driven hunger that are related to Pala'wan narratives of self-blame, a personal response to climate change that is not uncommon among Indigenous peoples worldwide. He suggests that reckoning with these complexities requires questioning key assumptions in the global environmental policy narrative"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Palawan (Philippine people) $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Palawan Island (Philippines) $x Climate. 650 0 $a Blame $z Palawan Island. $z Palawan Island. 650 0 $a Palawan (Philippine people) $x Land tenure. 650 0 $a Shifting cultivation $z Palawan Island. $z Palawan Island. 650 0 $a Human beings $x Effect of environment on $z Palawan Island. $z Palawan Island. 650 7 $a Blame. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00834112 650 7 $a Climatology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864281 650 7 $a Human beings $x Effect of environment on. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962843 650 7 $a Palawan (Philippine people) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051301 650 7 $a Shifting cultivation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01115940 651 7 $a Philippines $z Palawan Island. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01890776 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Smith, Will, $t Mountains of blame $d Seattle : University of Washington Press, 2020. $z 9780295748177 $w (DLC) 2020020430 830 0 $a Culture, place, and nature. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012223.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DA8C4876EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
