Set at the forested edge of Cambodia's frontier, this book shares stories and insights from migrants, loggers, and soldiers carving homesteads out of the wilderness. This is where the physical and social infrastructures of global development interact with the local workers. The stories included in this book show the fluid boundaries of social, economic and political classifications in the area, and that the inhabitants' poverty or wealth reveal the legacy of imperial power.
"Anyone who wants to grasp village development and ethnoreligious transformations in Cambodia's post-Khmer Rouge state or see the conceptual gains that have transpired in the comparative study of animism in the last two decades, will want to read this book." Lorraine V. Aragon, University of North Carolina
