Rich forests, poor people resource control and resistance in Java - Peluso, Nancy Lee (University of California Press, 1992)
Includes bibliographical references (pages 293-310) and index
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
