Dreams of Prosperity - Inequality and Integration in Southeast Asia (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days

This fresh and unusual collection offers a critical reflection on
Southeast Asia as a progressively integrated space of production,
exchange, and circulation within and beyond national boundaries.
The essays describe the successful or unsuccessful entry of
specific individuals or groups into wider markets and networks in
their quest for prosperity-in Thailand, by Lua peasant farmers,
slum families, the last century's teak laborers, and ethnic tour
hosts; in Indonesia, by communities resisting environmental
destruction and the urban poor; and in Vietnam, by human
trafficking returnees. The authors examine how these groups are
socially and symbolically defined and redefined in the process of
integration and the sense-making effort that characterizes many
destitute people in urban contexts.
