Forager-Traders in South and Southeast Asia
In both South and Southeast Asia, many upland groups make a living, in whole
or part, through gathering and hunting, producing not only subsistence goods
modities destined for regional and even world markets. These forager-
traders have had an ambiguous position in ethnographic analysis, variously
represented as relics, degraded hunter-gatherers, or recent upstarts.
Forager-Traders in South and Southeast Asia adopts a multidisciplinary approach
to these groups, presenting a series parative case-studies that analyze
the long-term histories of hunting; gathering; trading; power relations; and
regional, social, and biological interactions in this critical region.
This book is a fascinating and important addition to the current “revisionist”
debate, and a unique attempt to reconceptualize our knowledge of forager-
traders within the context plex polities, populations, and economies in
South and Southeast Asia.
