Forests Are Gold: Trees, People, and Environmental Rule in Vietnam (Culture, Place, and Nature)

Forests Are Gold examines the management of Vietnam's forests in the tumultuous twentieth centuryï¿½from French colonialism to the recent transition to market-oriented economicsï¿½as the country united, prospered, and transformed people and landscapes. Forest policy has rarely been about ecology or conservation for natureï¿½s sake, but about managing citizens and society, a process Pamela McElwee terms ï¿½environmental rule.ï¿½ Untangling and understanding these practices and networks of rule illuminates not just thorny issues of environmental change, but also the birth of Vietnam itself.
