La Guyane, délimitée par ses fleuves-frontières, l'Oyapock et le Maroni, est un territoire amazonien français d'Amérique du Sud, remarquable par la richesse de sa biodiversité. Le littoral guyanais, qui s'étend sur 350 kilomètres entre les estuaires de ces deux fleuves, est extrêmement instable, sans cesse modifié par des bancs de vase formés par les sédiments charriés depuis le delta de l'Amazone au Brésil qui se déplacent le long des côtes. S'y développe une mangrove, parmi les mieux préservées au monde, au coeur d'enjeux écologiques considérables du fait de son rôle de nourricerie et de nurserie pour de nombreuses espèces et de sa capacité à stocker le carbone. Très productive en matière de pêche, les franges maritimes guyanaises subissent de fortes pressions sur les ressources halieutiques tandis que de nombreux changements socio-environnementaux s'opèrent sous l'effet d'une forte croissance démographique et de migrations humaines importantes. La Guyane doit ainsi relever aujourd'hui de nombreux défis environnementaux, humains et économiques. Cet ouvrage, richement illustré, est à la fois une vitrine du littoral guyanais et de ces estuaires exceptionnels, et une invitation à repenser les intéractions entre l'homme et son environnement.

Broken Voices is the first English-language book on Korea's rich folksong heritage, and the first major study of the effects of Japanese colonialism on the intangible heritage of its former colony. In 2009, many Koreans reacted with dismay when China officially recognized the folksong Arirang, commonly regarded as the national folksong in North and South Korea, as part of its national intangible cultural heritage. They were vindicated when versions from both sides of the DMZ were included in UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity a few years later. At least on a national level, folksongs thus carry significant political importance. Maliangkay describes how an elaborate system of heritage management was first established in modern Korea and raises an important issue of cultural preservation--traditions that fail to attract practitioners and audiences are unsustainable, so compromises may be unwelcome but imperative.
