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.

So much to think about. Not only has it given me a clearer idea of this region which has a long perplexed me, but it has made me reevaluate the simplest frameworks of my understanding, and start to think differently about the distinction between civilization and barbarism, the cooked and the raw. I think this book will be with me for a long time. He is doing for barbarism, what was once done for the idea of democracy. Democracy was once a bad word in educated, civilized circles. Now barbarism will undergo a similar change, conceptually if in neither case yet in practice.
