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.
mind-blowing but too 啰嗦
评分在推荐单里很久才看。作者在自己的序中坦白自己经常一派胡言。当然我之前写了西方论述要求逻辑清晰表达一个观点,基本事实对错次要,按这个标准这是一本新颖好书。用书中观点,地形决定无政府状态,高地交通限制政府通知,人民选择逃离政府,套用到我国现在的带路工程上的话,难怪西方辩论不断重提意识形态斗争,我觉得老掉牙又不是冷战,然而从他们的观点,我们修通了去世界各国的路就把我们的制度和影响带过去了嘛。又想到国内其实仍然有很多不理会现代国家政治的部族比如比较出名的泸沽湖,这些地方能挺多久?

评分人类学家们前赴后继,造出Zomia和Zomia+,不知道的还以为是中国产的新型手机要跟iPhone x plus 一决高下呢。Scott此书一出,Journal of Global History甚至发专刊讨论。可惜愚公移了山,智叟po了张跟山遗址的合影抢风头,van Schendel肯定在家哭吧。

从序言就可以很明确的看出,斯科特希望改变的是长期以来对于东南亚历史和政治关系的民族国家话语式的理解,他引入了van Schendel所提出的Zomia概念,认为整个东南亚地区的山地-谷地模式以及多如牛毛的族群并不是一个单纯的纵向关系,也不是序列性的进化发展关系,而是一种互生...

评分 评分斯科特已经开辟出了“zomia”的新的区域研究范式,对于大陆东南亚和中国西南研究来说应该也是一本必读书目吧。该书内容繁复,资料芜杂,让一位对东南亚几乎不甚了解的农村研究学者来翻译,错误也是一大堆,维舟老师已经在其书评下作出了很多勘误,很期待能读到台湾的译本,不知...
评分自国家诞生以来的文明历史上,国家和建立国家的民族一直是历史书写的主体和基本单位。国家、文明、历史,三者搅和在了一起。而这种文明史的一个组成部分就是,“有历史的人群”为“没有历史的人群”书写历史,并且最初当然是作为统治权延伸的附属记录来编制。与之相对,以种种...
