"Pribble investigates the barter economies that developed in many of the labor camps established under the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. When the Khmer Rouge abolished currency and markets in 1975, starving Cambodians created underground exchanges in labor camps throughout the country, bartering luxury items for food and other necessities, while simultaneously undermining the regime's ideological goals of eliminating any traces of capitalism in Democratic Kampuchea. Pribble asserts three key points about the barter economy in the Khmer Rouge labor camps. First, the underground exchanges in Democratic Kampuchea provided food and medicine for desperate people subsisting under a totalitarian regime, saving the lives of countless Cambodians. Second, bartering was the riskiest way to obtain food because it was dependent upon the discretion of two or more individuals from different social classes under the threat of violent punishment, thereby altering the social dynamics of the camps. Finally, despite the regime's extreme efforts to eliminate foreign influence from the country and impose communist ideology on millions of citizens, basic forms of market capitalism and a demand for superfluous luxury goods persisted in labor camps throughout the country. A fascinating study of the human consequences of imposing rigid ideology, that will be of particular interest to scholars and students of political history and Southeast Asian history"--

Illégal, clandestin, hors marché, parallèle, alternatif..., tels sont quelques-uns des termes utilisés pour qualifier les activités regroupées habituellement sous le vocable d’« économie ». Les ethnologues et les sociologues dont les contributions sont réunies dans ce volume nous entraînent dans le vif des pratiques et des configurations de ce type d’économie. Migrants, communautés Emmaus, acteurs de systèmes et réseaux d’échanges locaux, brocanteurs ou pêcheurs à pied, tous travaillent « autrement ». Il peut s’agir d’économies choisies - où l’on tente de vivre et de produire de façon alternative-, mais aussi de modes de survie dans un monde économique subi. La logique du don se mêle aux relations marchandes et utilitaristes. Elles sont à l’œuvre sous d’autres formes : échanges de savoirs et de services, mobilisation des réseaux familiaux et ethniques, réhabilitation d’hommes désocialisés au moyen de la restauration et de la vente d’objets. On y parle d’économie informelle mais les pratiques peuvent y être formalisées : création d’une nouvelle monnaie, force contractuelle de la parole donnée... Autant de situations qui font la richesse anthropologique de ce monde mouvant dont les acteurs se retrouvent paradoxalement à la fois hors marché et économie officiels et en plein dedans, inventant à leur manière des mondes sociaux et économiques différents.

Will Evans was the proprietor of the Shiprock Trading Company in early 20th century New Mexico. Probably more than most of his fellow traders, he had a strong interest in Navajo culture. He published in the local newspaper and other periodicals and compiled many of his pieces into a book manuscript. His subjects were Navajos he knew and traded with, their stories of historic events such as the Long Walk, and descriptions of their culture as he, an outsider without academic training, understood it.
