Review quote:
This book champions with distinction the cause of development anthropologists, and provides a most fitting basis for the chronicle and analysis of development-related changes in Southeast Asian societies and in anthropology.
This is the first text on South-East Asia which examines the relations between anthropoloy and development in both their theoretical and practical dimensions. The book focuses on the problematical engagements between anthropologists and administrators from the colonial period onwards.
