Quagmire: Nation-Building and Nature in the Mekong Delta - Weyerhaeuser Environmental Books
Biggs, David Andrew (Assistant Professor of History, History Department)
By exploring the delta as a quagmire in both natural and political terms, Biggs shows how engineered transformations of the Mekong Delta landscape-channelized rivers, a complex canal system, hydropower development, deforestation-have interacted with equally complex transformations in the geopolitics of the region.
