The Art of Not Being Governed
An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia
Book • 2009
James C. Scott's "The Art of Not Being Governed" explores the history and strategies of marginalized communities who have resisted state control.
The book focuses on the Zomia region of Southeast Asia, a mountainous area where diverse ethnic groups have maintained their autonomy by evading state power.
Scott examines how these communities have used their knowledge of the terrain and their social organization to resist state-led projects and maintain their independence.
The book challenges conventional understandings of state power and highlights the resilience of marginalized communities in the face of oppression.
Scott's work offers valuable insights into the dynamics of power, resistance, and state formation.
