Abstract

ABSTRACT This article explores REDD+ practices through an intersectionality lens to unpack socially differentiated lived subjectivities in southern Tanzania. It draws from the trial of a carbon forestry project in the selected villages in the Lindi district to explore the intersection of multiple social dimensions and inequality through the production of REDD+ spaces and lived subjectivities to forest-dependent communities. To date, there has been less theorisation of REDD+ schemes under Community Carbon Enterprises (CCEs) within multiple axes of power and subjectivities in Tanzania. This paper contributes to power relations scholarship by examining how power structures such as class, gender, and age shape the everyday experiences of REDD+ subjects. An extended case study illustrates how intersectional axes of power were contested, negotiated, and lived through multiple performativity and practices of everyday subjectivities against exclusions produced through new carbon forestry spaces with restricted access and use of forest resources.
