This book presents the first empirically tested, comprehensive study on shifting cultivation in Mizoram. Shifting cultivation is a unique and centuries-old practice carried out by the people of Mizoram in Northeast India. Today, it is a non-economic activity as it does not produce sufficient crops, and as a result, the area under shifting cultivation is decreasing. Such cultivation leads to the burning and degradation of vast areas of forestland and therefore has adverse impacts on the floral and faunal resources. This book is a valuable resource for government workers, policymakers, academics, farmers and those who are directly or indirectly associated with practical farming, or with framing and implementing policies. It is equally important to master’s and Ph.D. students of geography, resource management, development, and environmental studies who are involved in research and development.

"This thoughtful ethnography provides a detailed account of a forest community on the Philippine island of Palawan grappling with the material and conceptual implications of a changing climate, including residents' sense of self-blame for environmental events. Swidden agriculture has long been considered the primary cause of deforestation throughout Southeast Asia. Following this logic, government authorities excluded the Indigenous people of Palawan from their ancestral lands after World War II and forced them to abandon traditional modes of land use. After adopting ostensibly modern and ecologically sustainable livelihoods, they have experienced drought and uncertain weather patterns, which they have blamed on their own failure to observe traditional social norms that are believed to regulate climate. Such norms, including local customary modes of punishment for violators of incest taboos and other transgressions, have, like swidden agriculture, been outlawed by the Philippine state. In Mountains of Blame, Will Smith uses historical records and over twelve months of ethnographic fieldwork to examine statements about changing weather, processes of dispossession, and experiences of climate-driven hunger that are related to Pala'wan narratives of self-blame, a personal response to climate change that is not uncommon among Indigenous peoples worldwide. He suggests that reckoning with these complexities requires questioning key assumptions in the global environmental policy narrative" Making Uma, imagining Kaingin -- Rooted place -- Insidious vulnerabilities -- El Nĩno and incest -- Placing blame.

Les « mangeurs de forêts » ont mauvaise réputation. Parce qu’ils défrichent chaque année une parcelle de végétation avant d’y mettre le feu, les agriculteurs montagnards d’Asie du Sud-Est seraient les premiers responsables de la déforestation. Culturellement distincts de leurs voisins des plaines, ils font aussi figure de populations arriérées, incapables d’abandonner des pratiques qui les maintiendraient dans la pauvreté. D’où la nécessité de les déplacer et de les regrouper dans les vallées, pour les « sédentariser » et les « développer ». Tel est en tout cas le discours des Etats, souvent relayé et cautionné par les institutions internationales et les médias. Pourtant, l’agriculture sur brûlis n’est pas toujours et partout une aberration écologique ou économique. Chez les montagnards khmou du Nord-Laos, il s’agit d’un véritable mode de vie et non d’une technique de survie. L’agriculture sur brûlis exprime leur rapport à la nature, inspire leurs catégories mentales et leur système symbolique. Elle participe de la reproduction des liens sociaux dans les maisons et les villages. Elle structure enfin les relations qu’ils entretiennent avec leurs voisins et avec l’État. Ces « chroniques des cendres » restituent leur vision du monde et retracent l’histoire des relations interethniques au Nord-Laos. Elles témoignent aussi des liens complexes tissés par les minorités avec l’État-nation dans ce pays et de l’ampleur des recompositions sociales et territoriales en cours dans le contexte post-communiste contemporain.
