Notes
1 Burawoy (Citation1991) provides an illuminating account of the role of puzzles in framing ethnographic analysis, and Smith (Citation2014) provides a valuable discussion of the role of politics – or its absence – in the framing of ethnographic projects.
2 I develop this argument more fully in Henley et al. (Citation2016).
3 There were other elements as well, which I summarized in my answer to the question of why a stable, middle-peasantry did not emerge (Li Citation2014).
4 I hope readers will make use of the visual tour I prepared for the website noted by Akram-Lodhi, which introduces the people and landscapes featured in the book.
5 I do not take up Wolford's insights on strategic essentialism but I have discussed this topic in several previous publications, most recently in Henley et al. (Citation2016) and Li (Citation2015a).
6 Moderate to severe stunting among children under 5 is 36.4% (UNDP Citation2015). Rigg (Citation2015) provides a useful analysis of contemporary patterns of poverty and inequality in Southeast Asia, and the underside of the region's apparent success.
