Border landscapes: The politics of Akha land use in China and Thailand

摘要

Janet C. Sturgeon's Border landscapes: The politics of Akha land use in China and Thailand is not only interesting reading for those concerned with the political-social-ecological structure and dynamics of what the author calls landscape plasticity: the ability of farmers [with different positions] to adjust complicated land uses over time in response to local needs, state plans, and border possibilities' (p. 9). It also addresses an important subject in Southeast Asian studies.
