Although locals gained possession of the forests, the federal government retained management rights, which created conflict over subsequent decades among rural, often indigenous villages; government; and private timber companies about how best to manage the forests. Christopher R. Boyer examines this history in Political Landscapes, where he argues that the forests in Chihuahua and Michoacán became what he calls "political landscapes"-that is, geographies that become politicized by the interactions between opposing actors-through the effects of backroom deals, nepotism, and political negotiations. Understanding the historical dynamic of community forestry in Mexico is particularly critical for those interested in promoting community involvement in the use and conservation of forestlands around the world. Considering how rural and indigenous people have confronted, accepted, and modified the rationalizing projects of forest management foisted on them by a developmentalist state is crucial before community management is implemented elsewhere. 606 $aHISTORY / Latin America / Mexico$2bisacsh 615 7$aHISTORY / Latin America / Mexico. 700 $aBoyer$b Christopher R., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01478242 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996580164503316 996 $aPolitical landscapes$93873480 997 $aUNISA
