劳动力迁移如何影响印尼森林？在爪哇山区，政治森林和种植园的历史可以追溯到19世纪殖民地国家的土地收购，森林正在被重建和重新配置，对象是不寻常的：合同制森林工人和其他森林农民的妻子和女儿。这些没有土地的妇女在香港和其他繁荣的亚洲城市担任女佣和其他家庭佣工，向家里汇款，投资农村资源，改变政治森林的底层，因为她们的丈夫和父亲必须继续从事正式的森林劳动。慢慢地，在没有真正意图的情况下，这些女性已经使森林重新性别化，并没有完全驱逐男人或与伐木和树脂收集有关的男性协会，而是通过未被利用的林下植被进入对林地的控制。这篇文章讲述了贫穷的、没有土地的妇女，作为森林居民和自由家庭劳动力、重新造林的农民和贫穷的农业劳动力，如何在香港签约成为女佣，并最终重建森林。
How does labor migration affect Indonesian forests? In the mountains of Java, where political forests and plantations date back to colonial state land acquisitions in the nineteenth century, forests are being reconstituted and reconfigured by unusual subjects: the wives and daughters of contracted forest workers and other forest farmers. Working as maids and other domestic laborers in Hong Kong and other prosperous Asian cities, these landless women are sending home remittances to invest in rural resources and changing the understory of the political forest where their husbands and fathers are required to remain available for formal forest labor. Slowly, without really intending to, these women have regendered the forest, not completely ousting the men or the masculine associations with logging and resin collection, but making inroads into the control of the forest lands via the under‐used understory. This article tells how poor, landless women, marginalized as forest residents and as free household labor, reforestation farmers, and poor agricultural laborers, signed up to work as maids in Hong Kong and ended up remaking the forest.
