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...
评分我们日常所惯用的概念经常会误导人。例如说到“国家”,我们的自然反应便会以为那是像我们眼下所熟知的那种,在固定领土疆界内的排他性政治实体,没有任何非国家行为体可以和它争夺对人民的支配权。但这倒不如说是现代产生的一种特殊情形,在历史上大部分时期的大部分地区,情...

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.

评分观点蛮讨喜,但是结构和论证,我是真的不太喜欢……

评分斯氏在数本书中似有种一以贯之的研究认识进路:强调人类学式实地田野、民族志、文本解读和质性认识;展现国家/官僚技术统治/市场经济覆盖地域以外社会形制自我维持和反抗简化统治形态扩展的可能性;以东南亚等边缘落后地区材料观照西欧中心为起始之现代世界;推出现代史和社科的学术书写中国家/现代性中心以外可能的历史书写方式。拒斥国家推展统治术并非罕见,但斯氏强调此种现象在东南亚以族群层次,利用地形、历史叙述和游耕模式战略性展开,逐渐形成一长期游离于各国边缘、仅在最低程度上利用国家资源的山民历史社会实体,故而反思欧美经验中国家扩展的天然性和统治术的建构与权力性,启发未来人类社会形态。对民族建构采强建构学说。反照主流社科,有趣问题便是为何现代民族国家在西欧展开如此顺利至被奉为理所当然,是战争的地理扩展使然?
评分the history of people without history is a history of their struggle against the state
