"The book is very well documented, showing a deep knowledge of several social and ecological aspects of Sahrawi lives, and their dynamics of recent transformation. It is written in a fluent and evocative style which is pleasant for the reader." * Barbara Casciarri, University of Paris 8, France"I thoroughly enjoyed this book ...Volpato has clearly spent a lot of time working in the region and it shows. The Western Sahara and Sahrawi have seen very little engagement with ethnographers and this book fills a huge gap in the anthropological and ethnobiological literature. Volpato masterfully combines research in ethnobiology within a broader context of colonial history, war, politics, and human-nature relations." * John Richard Stepp, University of Florida
