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.

处在伊河上的陆浑水库,位于洛阳嵩县,是上世纪六十年代修建的。在夏商时期,生活在这里的是一批被称为西戎的人,而“戎”是古代对少数民族的称呼。不敢想象位于中原地区洛阳的下属县曾是汉人文化边缘地带。那时中华文明的版图很小,夏商的历史简直可以称为河南的历史。史书说...

跟印地安人一样,这块土地上几千年来生活着一群善良而又落后的土著居民,他们在那过着男耕女织、世外桃源般的这种生活。直到几百年前,咣!停了几艘大船,跳下来面目狰狞的坏蛋,叫做汉人。一上岸,见着土著落后,上去男的杀、女的抢,土地什么房子烧光,所有的坏事做绝了,杀...

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...

最大的問題是所有的resistence都可以另外解釋為Scott異化的'tribal people'對所置身環境的自然迴應,隻不過這類似心理層麵的解釋也無法去正麵推翻……如果不是為瞭論文,真不想去看這麼fancy的東西……

评分

觀點蠻討喜,但是結構和論證,我是真的不太喜歡……

评分

山地意識下,從曆史到現在的南中國和東南亞大陸文明會呈現齣不同的麵相。

评分

為瞭證明自己的觀點而打造證據的痕跡太明顯。

评分

the history of people without history is a history of their struggle against the state
