scholars concerned with the processes that continuously
re-configure land relations and re-define ecological, economic, and
socio-political conditions.-- "Journal of Peasant Studies"
Powers of Exclusion combines the insights of scholars from three
different fields . . . Their collaboration has produced an
excellent book that serves as an inquiry into current land issues
in the region. Through detailed examples and illustrations, they
examine the poignant and timely issues of access to and exclusion
from land. . . . Powers of Exclusion is an outstanding read with
keen insights on processes of exclusion in Cambodia, Indonesia,
Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. . . . an
accessible, empirically rich and conceptually instructive book that
will be of tremendous use to those interested in researching and
teaching issues of land, access, exclusion, social relations and
social differentiation.-- "Antipode"
