| Abstract | What is the role of religion in shaping interactions and
relations between the human and nonhuman in nature? Why are Muslim
and Christian organizations generally not a potent force in
Southeast Asian environmental movements? The Camphor Tree and
the Elephant brings these questions into the history of
ecological change in the region, centering the roles of religion
and colonialism in shaping the Anthropocene-"the human epoch."
Historian Faizah Zakaria traces the conversion of the Batak
people in upland Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula to Islam and
Christianity during the long nineteenth century. She finds that the
process helped shape social structures that voided the natural
world of enchantment, ushered in a cash economy, and placed the
power to remake local landscapes into the hands of a distant elite.
Using a wide array of sources such as family histories, prayer
manuscripts, and folktales in tandem with colonial and ethnographic
archives, Zakaria brings everyday religion and its far-flung
implications into our understanding of the environmental history of
the modern world. |
