ABSTRACT This paper explores women's perspectives regarding access to resources in a matrilineal ethnic community in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. Customary matrilineal entitlements are not completely recognized by the state that is increasingly using force in asserting its ownership over forests and has a different vision regarding land tenure for households. Using predominantly qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews, life histories and observation, this study focuses on the strategies that K’ho women use to derive benefit from key natural resources such as wet rice fields and forest lands. Through the perspectives of three women of different ages, marital status and social background, I show how matrilineal kinship and conjugal relationships play out with respect to women's access to resources, given increasing state governance and control. I use an intersectional approach grounded in Feminist Political Ecology and insights from Ribot and Peluso's theory of access to highlight the interactions between gender, matrilineal structures and other forms of social identities in shaping access to natural resources.

女性获取资源：越南的母系亲属、父权国家和社会分化

摘要 本文探讨了妇女对越南中部高地母系族裔社区获取资源的看法。越来越多地使用武力主张其对森林的所有权并且对家庭的土地保有权有不同的看法的国家并未完全承认习惯的母系权利。本研究主要使用定性方法，包括深入访谈、生活史和观察，重点关注 K'ho 妇女从湿稻田和林地等关键自然资源中获益的策略。通过三位不同年龄、婚姻状况和社会背景的女性的视角，我展示了母系亲属和夫妻关系如何在女性获得资源方面发挥作用，鉴于越来越多的国家治理和控制。我使用基于女权主义政治生态学的交叉方法以及来自 Ribot 和 Peluso 的获取理论的见解来强调性别、母系结构和其他形式的社会身份之间在塑造对自然资源的获取方面的相互作用。
