Abstract "We Stay the Same makes important contributions to development anthropology and political ecology through an interdisciplinary examination of the historical motivations and socio-ecological changes occurring in the context of industrial agroforestry development and climate change on New Hanover, Papua New Guinea. The book combines ethnographic and ecological research to ground questions of hope for transformative economic change within indigenous assessments of the inequitable relationships between global processes of resource development and the local lives that have become increasingly defined by the necessities and failures of such processes"-- Provided by publisher.
