For 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.
James C. Scott is Sterling Professor of Political Science, professor of anthropology, and codirector of the Agrarian Studies Programme, Yale University, and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

作者探究的对象是包括中国西南在内的所谓赞米亚高地,读来很亲切,也很有启迪性。书中涉及到了史学(政治史、边疆史、民族史、经济史)、人类学、社会学等多个方面,内容十分丰富。这书的翻译真心不错,读起来轻松,不别扭。我同时也购过作者所著的上海译林版的《农民的道义经...
评分上个学期社会学课上的老教授超喜欢韦伯。他喜欢韦伯在新教伦理里的想法,他说他希望有人证明能它,因为他喜欢这个理论。但是他也说,最近的社会学,大家都在问“你怎么证明这个”之类的问题,却没有人写出比韦伯涂尔干更深刻的思想。 教授说这话之前我读了斯科特的《国家的视...
