Frontier Livelihoods
Hmong in the Sino-Vietnamese Borderlands
The product of wide-ranging research over many years, Frontier Livelihoods bridges the traditional divide between studies of China and peninsular Southeast Asia by examining the agency, dynamics, and resilience of livelihoods adopted by Hmong communities in Vietnam and in China's Yunnan Province. It covers the reactions to state modernization projects among this ethnic group in two separate national jurisdictions and contributes to a growing body of literature on cross-border relationships between ethnic minorities in the borderlands of China and its neighbors and in Southeast Asia more broadly.
About the Authors
Reviews
"A powerful ethnography of economics that reaches deep into local and regional economies and histories, tracing the pathways of key products made and traded."—Magnus Fiskesjo, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
"[This] important contribution . . . provides new insights into borderlands and everyday politics of ethnic minorities in the Southeast Asian Massif."—Alexander Horstmann, SOJOURN: Journal of Social Issues in Southeast Asia
"Provides a vivid description of a myriad of activities in the everyday lives of Hmong on the fringes as they make their living in the sectors of agriculture, livestock transactions, locally distilled alcohol, cardamom, and the textile trade."—Nguyen Thi Le, Southeast Asian Studies
Endorsements
"A highly readable and informative account of local economies under pressure from both market and state forces. This is a wonderful record of the realities of everyday decision-making among an ethnic minority in the borderlands between two socialist nation-states, presenting the full complexity of social and cultural contexts in which livelihood decisions are taken. It shows a diversity of indigenous responses to modernization, and will shed new light on our understandings of the workings of local agency at the margins of power and domination."—Nicholas Tapp, Australian National University
