She shows how, over the last century, processes of state formation, construction of ethnic identity, and regional security concerns have contributed to very different outcomes for Akha and their forests in China and Thailand, with Chinese Akha functioning as citizens and grain producers, and Akha in Thailand being viewed as "non-Thai" forest destroyers. The modern nation-state grapples with local power hierarchies on the periphery of the nation, with varied outcomes. Citizenship in China helps Akha better protect a fluid set of livelihood practices that confer benefits on them and their landscape. Denied such citizenship in Thailand, Akha are helpless when forests and other resources are ruthlessly claimed by the state. Drawing on current anthropological debates on the state in Southeast Asia and more generally on debates on property theory, states and minorities, and political ecology, Sturgeon shows how people live in a continuous state of negotiated boundaries - political, social, and ecological. This pioneering comparison of resource access and land use among historically related peoples in two nation-states will be welcomed by scholars of political ecology, environmental anthropology, ethnicity, and politics of state formation in East and Southeast Asia. 410 0$aCulture, place, and nature. 606 $aAkha (Southeast Asian people)$xLand tenure 606 $aAkha (Southeast Asian people)$xPolitics and government 606 $aAkha (Southeast Asian people)$xSocial conditions 606 $aLand use$zChina 606 $aLand use$zThailand 606 $aLandscape assessment$zChina 606 $aLandscape assessment$zThailand 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xEcology$zChina 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xEcology$zThailand 607 $aChina$xBoundaries 607 $aThailand$xBoundaries 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government 607 $aThailand$xPolitics and government 615 0$aAkha (Southeast Asian people)$xLand tenure. 615 0$aAkha (Southeast Asian people)$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aAkha (Southeast Asian people)$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aLand use 615 0$aLand use 615 0$aLandscape assessment 615 0$aLandscape assessment 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xEcology 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xEcology 676 $a306.3/64/09513509152 700 $aSturgeon$b Janet C$01702729 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827352203321 996 $aBorder landscapes$94087477 997 $aUNINA
