'The essays in this book represent a sampling of Watts' UC Berkeley students' work across the four decades he served as professor, muse, and driving force for colleagues as well as students. The collection provides an entrée into this important scholar's broad-ranging and compelling legacy that branches out and extends, like a family tree, to distant continents and global institutions. How has Michael Watts shaped Political Ecology and other subfields of Critical Human Geography? Let us count the ways.'
Nancy Lee Peluso, Professor of Society & Environment, University of California, Berkeley, USA
'This important volume is a testament to the range of scholarship inspired by Michael Watts as illustrated by the insightful contributions of his former students, who are major scholars in their own right. Together, their contributions form an exciting new contribution to political ecology and critical agrarian studies - each presenting new understandings while tracing their intellectual debt to Watts's work.'
Matt Turner, Professor of Geography, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA
