Abstract "From Gold Rush to Green Rush focuses on the surge in cannabis production in California, dubbed the "Green Rush," an apt reference to a Gold Rush-era ideology of manifest destiny, resource extraction, and wealth accumulation. Kaitlin Reed connects the historical and ecological dots between the California Gold Rush of the 1850s and the contemporary Green Rush by tracing patterns of settler colonial resource rushing: first gold, then timber, then fish, and now cannabis"-- Provided by publisher.
