Slow Anthropology considers the history of the Iu Mien, an upland Laotian minority caught in the disruptions of the Vietnam-American war. This study challenges the prevailing academic theory that groups living in the hinterlands of Southeast Asia have traditionally fled to the hills, seeking isolated independence and safety. As part of his challenge, Jonsson highlights the legacies of negotiating difference that have guided the Iu Mien in interactions with their neighbors. Jonsson engages with southern China and Southeast Asia in premodern times, relays individual reports from the war in Laos, describes contemporary village festivals in Thailand, and explores community and identity among Southeast Asian immigrants in the United States. His study questions Western academic narratives that oversimplify Asia's minorities in order to define and stabilize Western identities.
Responding to James C. Scott’s characterization of the Southeast Asian highlands as a zone of refuge sought by minorities fearing oppression from lowland states, Slow Anthropology argues that evidence of a highland "disconnect" was, in fact, symptomatic of recent social collapse. Voluntary segregation has not been a historically typical condition in Asia. The author demonstrates that negotiation among different groups has been vital to the region, as play and intersubjectivity have been for human evolution. Slow Anthropology advocates for studies that acknowledge the ways in which Southeast Asian minorities have adapted to change, appropriated ideas from their neighbors, and built their own complex identities.
"A brilliant and engaging exploration of the ways in which Asian highland people have been represented in the popular academic imagination. This book will raise important questions about the ethics of representation and the need for negotiations across social difference. The author believes passionately in his subject and calls for a newly reflective and situated anthropology. There is a serious and major ethical sensibility at work here."—Nicholas Tapp, Australian National University, author of The Hmong of China: Context, Agency, and the Imaginary and The Impossibility of Self: An Essay on the Hmong Diaspora
作者研究東南亞的Iu Mien勉語瑤族人。他的data主要來自對在美瑤族人的采訪,和部分早期在老撾、泰國高地進行的田野調查。本書算是對Scott的一個迴應,用很多證據批判瞭Scott所謂高地人在逃避民族國傢的統治的說法,認為這純屬迎閤西方學術界對Zomia高地人浪漫化的想象。
