ZuLit: 9am - The Art of Not Being Governed
Welcome to ZuLit, a bookclub from Zuzalu!
For this session, we'll discuss a wonderful book by James Scott called The Art of Not Being Governed.
The Art of Not Being Governed - James C. Scott
James Scott's book explores the history of Zomia, a region in Asia where people have evaded state control for centuries. Through strategies like living in rugged terrain and maintaining flexible ethnic identities, these communities have remained stateless. Scott challenges traditional views on civilization and state-making, offering a new perspective that sheds light on marginalized communities worldwide.
