Reviews for Transforming the Indonesian Uplands: Marginality, Power And Production (Studies in Environmental Anthropology)
'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.' - Social Anthropology
