The Cultivated Forest - People and Woodlands in Asian History (Paperback): Ian M. Miller, Bradley Camp Davis, Brian Lander,... The Cultivated Forest - People and Woodlands in Asian History (Paperback)
Ian M. Miller, Bradley Camp Davis, Brian Lander, John S. Lee
R798 Discovery Miles 7 980 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Forests have histories that need to be told. This examination of wood and woodlands in East and Southeast Asia brings together case studies from China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Sumatra to explore continuities in the history of forest management across these regions as well as the distinctive qualities of human-forest relations within each context. With a general introduction to forest histories in East and Southeast Asia and a multidisciplinary set of authors, The Cultivated Forest constructs alternative lineages of forest knowledge that aim to transcend the frameworks imposed by colonial or national histories. Across these regions, forests were sites of exploitation, contestation, and ritual just as they were in Europe and America. This volume puts studies of Asian forests into conversation with global forest histories.

Imperial Bandits - Outlaws and Rebels in the China-Vietnam Borderlands (Paperback): Bradley Camp Davis Imperial Bandits - Outlaws and Rebels in the China-Vietnam Borderlands (Paperback)
Bradley Camp Davis; Series edited by Charles F. Keyes, Laurie J. Sears, Vicente Rafael
R798 Discovery Miles 7 980 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Black Flags raided their way from southern China into northern Vietnam, competing during the second half of the nineteenth century against other armed migrants and uplands communities for the control of commerce, specifically opium, and natural resources, such as copper. At the edges of three empires (the Qing empire in China, the Vietnamese empire governed by the Nguyen dynasty, and, eventually, French Colonial Vietnam), the Black Flags and their rivals sustained networks of power and dominance through the framework of political regimes. This lively history demonstrates the plasticity of borderlines, the limits of imposed boundaries, and the flexible division between apolitical banditry and political rebellion in the borderlands of China and Vietnam. Imperial Bandits contributes to the ongoing reassessment of borderland areas as frontiers for state expansion, showing that, as a setting for many forms of human activity, borderlands continue to exist well after the establishment of formal boundaries.
