This expertly edited and unusually coherent collection of enlightening essays on livelihoods and cultural identities in the post-socialist situations of China, Vietnam and Laos, adds usefully to the emerging literature on the borderlands of what the editors call the "Southeast Asian Massif"...this well-edited book is an argument for and demonstration of the value of good ethnography in the developmental context and as such it deserves to be very widely read. - Nicholas Tapp, East China Normal University, Shanghai, Professor Emeritus, Australian National University (The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology) … this book is much more than a collection of individually interesting case study chapters. There is an argument that weaves its way through the text. After an intriguing foreword from Terry McGee where he connects his interest in urban change with the book's concern with highland change, there are eight core chapters bookended by a substantial introduction from the editors, editors, and a rather briefer conclusion. - Jonathan Rigg (Journal of Southeast Asian Studies, June 2013)
