Reviews

[Producing Knowledge, Protecting Forests] is concise yet rich in ethnographic and theoretical insights. It will be a classic for years to come. Amalia L. Cabezas, International Feminist Journal of Politics


The book is concise yet rich in ethnographic and theoretical insights. Producing Knowledge, Protecting Forests is a much needed contribution to the fields of development studies, rural sociology, tourism studies, Caribbean, Latin American, Women's and Gender Studies. It will be classic for years to come. --Amalia L. Cabezas, International Feminist Journal of Politics


This rich portrayal of a peasant community in the Dominican Republic actively engaging the changing global economy is a highly readable text that contributes significantly to multiple sociology subfields, including development, gender, and cultural studies. -- Ginetta E. B. Candelario
