This community of hill rice farmers of the Jarai ethnic minority group survived aerial bombardment and the American invasion of Cambodia during the Vietnam War, only to find themselves relocated to the \"killing fields\" of the Khmer Rouge regime. Now back in their homeland, they have reestablished agriculture, seed by seed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDisturbed Forests, Fragmented Memories\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of violence and dispossession in the highlands from the perspective of the land itself. Weaving rich ethnography with the history of the Jarai and their treatment at the hands of outsiders, Jonathan Padwe narrates the highlanders' successful efforts to rebuild their complex, highly diverse agricultural system after a decades-long interruption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on the ecological dimensions of social change and dispossession from the precolonial slave trade to the present moment of land grabs along a rapidly transforming resource frontier, Padwe shows how the past lives on in the land. An engrossing treatment of timely issues in anthropology and political ecology, this book will also appeal to readers in environmental studies, geography, and Southeast Asian studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Padwe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295746904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295746906\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2020","brand":"Jonathan Padwe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988897497343,"sku":"9780295746906","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea405e63-6956-46c6-8881-b78e6390ad06.jpg?v=1683296971","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disturbed-forests-fragmented-memories-jonathan-padwe-9780295746906","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
