Conclusion -- Notes -- Glossary -- IndexFor two thousand years the disparate groups that now reside in Zomia (a mountainous region the size of Europe that consists of portions of seven Asian countries) have fled the projects of the organized state societies that surround them-slavery, conscription, taxes, corvée labor, epidemics, and warfare. This book, essentially an "anarchist history," is the first-ever examination of the huge literature on state-making whose author evaluates why people would deliberately and reactively remain stateless. Among the strategies employed by the people of Zomia to remain stateless are physical dispersion in rugged terrain; agricultural practices that enhance mobility; pliable ethnic identities; devotion to prophetic, millenarian leaders; and maintenance of a largely oral culture that allows them to reinvent their histories and genealogies as they move between and around states.In accessible language, James Scott, recognized worldwide as an eminent authority in Southeast Asian, peasant, and agrarian studies, tells the story of the peoples of Zomia and their unlikely odyssey in search of self-determination. He redefines our views on Asian politics, history, demographics, and even our fundamental ideas about what constitutes civilization, and challenges us with a radically different approach to history that presents events from the perspective of stateless peoples and redefines state-making as a form of "internal colonialism." This new perspective requires a radical reevaluation of the civilizational narratives of the lowland states. Scott's work on Zomia represents a new way to think of area studies that will be applicable to other runaway, fugitive, and marooned communities, be they Gypsies, Cossacks, tribes fleeing slave raiders, Marsh Arabs, or San-Bushmen.Yale Agrarian StudiesEthnologySoutheast AsiaPeasantsPolitical activitySoutheast AsiaSoutheast AsiaPolitics and government1945-Southeast AsiaRural conditionsElectronic books.EthnologyPeasantsPolitical activity305.800959Scott James C148325MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456807803321The art of not being governed2479036UNINA03247nam 22007455 450 99646615260331620230222162123.03-319-66263-510.1007/978-3-319-66263-3(CKB)3710000001631273(DE-He213)978-3-319-66263-3(MiAaPQ)EBC5591128(PPN)203850343(EXLCZ)99371000000163127320170808d2017 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierTheory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing – SAT 2017[electronic resource] 20th International Conference, Melbourne, VIC, Australia, August 28 – September 1, 2017, Proceedings /edited by Serge Gaspers, Toby Walsh1st ed. 2017.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2017.1 online resource (XIII, 476 p. 68 illus.)
