Estimated time: 3-4 hours (50 pages focused reading). I know this looks like a lot, but you are just reading a few pages of each article, enough to see the flow of conversation between them. We will focus on Guha and Cronan's critique of the idea of "wilderness." The other articles give you background to understand this critique.
