Southeast Asian nations have devised a range of development
programs that strive to incorporate minority ethnic groups into the
nation-state. The authors of Civilizing the Margins discuss the
programs, policies, and laws that affect ethnic minorities in eight
countries: Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the
Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Once targeted for
intervention, people such as the Orang Asli of Malaysia and the
"hill tribes" of Thailand often become the subject of programs
aimed at radically changing their lifestyles, which the government
views as backward or primitive. Several chapters highlight the
tragic consequences of forced resettlement, a common result of
these programs. Others question the motives behind pushing
minorities into "development" schemes. Rather than simply
describing the effects of the programs and the experiences of
participants, the contributors to this book attempt to understand
the ideologies and strategies that led to the implementation of
these programs.
