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