商品簡介
The government of Vietnam is making large investments in dams and other water control systems to protect and support urban and commercial development, says Ehlert (sociology, U. of Bonn), and paying little or no attention to farmers and fishers for whom the annual floods are a necessary part of their lives and livelihoods. She spent a year conducting ethnographic research in Can Tho City, a province in the Mekong Delta, and shares the vast body of socio-environmental knowledge that has built up over the generations about agriculture and aquaculture in the region.
