The Art of Not Being Governed
From the acclaimed author and scholar James C. Scott, the compelling tale of Asian peoples who until recently have stemmed the vast tide of state-making to live at arm’s length from any organized state society 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.

Toward the middle of the seventeenth century, the McAfees left conflict-torn Scotland, and migrated to Ireland. Once in Ireland, extreme hunger and poverty gave them urgent reason to risk voyage across the violent North Atlantic to the New World. Undeterred, they trekked from Delaware to Virginia, pioneered west into the unknown bluegrass of Kentucky alongside Daniel Boone, and finally, at the turn of the twentieth century, this weary clan settled next to the Mississippi River in the rich, alluvial soil of Western Tennessee. A propitious moment had ar...
