Funded Activity Summary

A Creole Landscape: Jamaica in Space and Time. Comparative analysis, over time and space, enables a richer understanding of the long-term consequences of changing attitudes to landscape and their impact on the exploitation of resources. Compared to Australia, the process of creolization, moving beyond acculturation and multiculturalism, is far advanced in Jamaica, leading to a redefinition of concepts of the native, the exotic and the feral, and of ideas about conservation and wilderness. Explanation of such differences can provide important lessons for policy and planning. The project will develop and refine a methodology with potential for broad application, including Australia.
