Millions of Javanese peasants live alongside state-controlled
forest lands in one of the world's most densely populated
agricultural regions. Because their legal access and customary
rights to the forest have been severely limited, these peasants
have been pushed toward illegal use of forest resources. "Rich
Forests, Poor People" untangles the complex of peasant and state
politics that has developed in Java over three centuries.
Drawing on historical materials and intensive field research,
including two contemporary case studies, Peluso presents the story
of the forest and its people. Without major changes in forest
policy, Peluso contends, the situation is portentous. Economic,
social, and political costs to the government will increase.
Development efforts will by stymied and forest destruction will
continue. Mindful that a dramatic shift is unlikely, Peluso
suggests how tension between foresters and villagers can be
alleviated while giving peasants a greater stake in local forest
management.
