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.

我們日常所慣用的概念經常會誤導人。例如說到“國傢”,我們的自然反應便會以為那是像我們眼下所熟知的那種,在固定領土疆界內的排他性政治實體,沒有任何非國傢行為體可以和它爭奪對人民的支配權。但這倒不如說是現代産生的一種特殊情形,在曆史上大部分時期的大部分地區,情...

自國傢誕生以來的文明曆史上,國傢和建立國傢的民族一直是曆史書寫的主體和基本單位。國傢、文明、曆史,三者攪和在瞭一起。而這種文明史的一個組成部分就是,“有曆史的人群”為“沒有曆史的人群”書寫曆史,並且最初當然是作為統治權延伸的附屬記錄來編製。與之相對,以種種...

中國有句老話,“窮山惡水齣刁民”,仔細想,可見其居心之險惡,這句話無外是站在所謂的“文明中心”看那些僻壤之境人群的生存方式,並在掌握瞭話語權的情況下隨手貼上標簽,維護自身秩序井然的形象。 但Scott 這本The Art of Not Being Governed 說的很清楚,首先,山地居民的...

逃離國傢——逃離的是臣民的身份,而不是與國傢的關係。實際上,山民一直在尋找與國傢的適當關係,纔能讓自己生存下來。

為瞭證明自己的觀點而打造證據的痕跡太明顯。

zomia,我們其實叫它為“金三角”。作為問題域,它顛覆瞭民族國傢分析框架。scott關心的那些人,他們不斷逃離國傢宰製,成為瞭這世界上獨特的一群。那麼多人研究中國西南的少數民族,若是像scott這樣來研究,還真是有意思。
