Christopher R. Duncan is Associate Professor in the School of Historical, Philosophical & Religious Studies and in the School of Politics and Global Studies, Arizona State University. He is the author of Violence and Vengeance and editor of Civilizing the Margins, both from Cornell.
"Civilizing the Margins is an indispensable guide to minority policy and practice throughout Southeast Asia. It offers a cohesive theme, a splendid introduction and overview, and contributions both subtle and original that reach far beyond the usual platitudes. Judging from the quality, one may look forward with anticipation and great confidence to the future work of the many newly-minted scholars represented here."-James C. Scott, Sterling Professor of Political Science and Anthropology, Yale University "For insight into why governments in Southeast Asia want to modernize and 'civilize' potentially autonomous indigenous populations in their midst, and why the policies they adopt cause those populations to become more vulnerable and marginalized, I am confident that no better book is available than Civilizing the Margins. Detailed and informative, it is a timely and valuable contribution to understanding the politics of indigenous development in Southeast Asia."-Colin Nicholas, Ph.D., Coordinator, Center for Orang Asli Concerns, Malaysia
