hungeobull-556	Ujházy, Noémi	Davis, D.K.: The Arid Lands: History, Power, Knowledge	2017	4	.pdf	application/pdf	2933	139	48	The tools of land development programmes in France and England, such as the privatisation of common lands, the control of transhumant pastoral- ism, or the afforestation of the sand dunes in Gascony in Southwestern France, were later introduced to arid lands in newly colonised areas as well. Diana K. Davis’s book, uniquely, addresses the historicity of debates about arid lands, and gives an analysis of the discourse of desertification from a political ecology approach, arguing that the global environmental debate about desertification and the United Nations anti-desertification programmes were highly influenced by former colonial discourses.	cache/hungeobull-556.pdf	txt/hungeobull-556.txt
