Abstract

Lake Naivasha, Kenya, is a unique freshwater lake in the East African Rift Valley. The lake’s urban areas and its hinterlands are bustling with economic activity, but also form a globally-recognized site of ecological importance and are moreover a hotspot for interdisciplinary research. This chapter introduces the lake and the processes of agricultural intensification, biodiversity conservation, and resource extraction that unfold there. It presents Lake Naivasha as a site characteristic of the Capitalocene, with an environment that has been heavily shaped by diverse processes of global capitalism for over a century. Finally, this introductory chapter provides an overview of the other chapters in this volume.
