- Description
- Opening with an account of the Greater Honeyguide and its long association with man in Africa, this book sets the scene for a new historical approach to how ornithology with its northern hemisphere traditions has interacted with information provided by African people. The title Birders of Africa suggests a wider readership than the academic target audience. ‘Birder’ in current popular usage implies recreational birders, who often focus on cataloguing and collecting experiences and photographs, rather than physical specimens in the tradition of many characters in this book. Readers who might categorise themselves as ‘birders’ would likely be discouraged by an introduction with quotations from theories relating to the asymmetries of knowledge, though they could find much of interest elsewhere in the text. The introduction needs to be read with close attention, since Nancy Jacobs sets out clearly her choice of terminology and the aims of her approach to the subject.
