Sobre IBD

By re-examining French geographer Pierre Gourou’s work, this book highlights the significant (yet only partially understood) role he played in shaping how the tropical world was viewed during the 20th century. It does so by connecting Gourou to the idea of ’tropicality’ - a discourse which constructs ’the tropics’ as the West’s environmental Other.
