Series: Studies in Environmental Anthropology

Drawing upon theoretical debates in social anthropology, development studies and political ecology, and presenting research from across the Indonesian Archipelago, this book addresses the changing histories and identities of upland people as they relate in new ways to the natural resource base, to markets and to the state. The study, which aims to fill analytic gaps and addresses real-world concerns, exploring the uplands as components of national and global systems of meaning, power and production. It offers a significant re-assessment of concepts, processes, histories, relationships and discourses many of which are not unique either to the uplands or Indonesia.

Reviews for Transforming the Indonesian Uplands

An important overall theme of the book is the ways in which political, social and economic marginality is constituted, expressed and sustained....Overall the quality of the contributions to the volume is high; Li's editorial introduction and her first chapter on marginality, power and production are especially useful....Several of the chapters...provide excellent historical and ethnographic detail.
