摘要

This chapter analyzes the First Indochina War as a watershed in Vietnamese environmental history. It focuses on southeastern Vietnam, a region whose strategic value largely resulted from its existence as a border area, not only geopolitically between Cambodia and Vietnam but also physically as a terrain marked by sharp divergence between a rubber monocrop and a forest environment. This chapter examines how the Viet Minh strategy evolved from one that sought to destroy imperial landscapes of labor to one that worked to co-opt the resources derived from rubber. At first, the Viet Minh accepted previously articulated definitions of plantations as places of rubber production and exploitation, and thus they sought to sabotage plantation operations. Only after 1950, when the Viet Minh imagined plantations as a potential source of supplies that could support their war effort, did they begin to tap into the food, money, and arms made available by rubber. Ironically, the regional characteristics that made this region useful for anticolo-nial resistance arose from the colonial refashioning of nature for rubber production.
