Trade Review
"When Forests Run Amok is an ambitious work that challenges readers' understandings of culture, territories, and justice. . . . Recommended. Graduate students and faculty." -- A. E. Leykam * Choice *
"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 *
