"
When Forests Run Amok is a provocative work that will no doubt spark animated discussion. Whether or not we, as readers, entirely follow Ruiz-Serna’s epistemological leap, his approach does provide for an exceptionally intimate, creative, and illuminating study of a place and conflict that have rightly been receiving a lot of scholarly attention." -- Nancy P. Appelbaum * Ethnic and Racial Studies *
