A fascinating and brilliant interview from both sides. The dynamics of human manipulation within a fractured social and ecological landscape are not easily captured. Sturgeon has done so. The primacy of citizenship to even provide a framework for other tenurial rights is so key -- do we have any sort of handle on how many forest dwellers or other rural refugees there are without citizen rights? Or how many times state powers draw borders through the mountains that bifurcate ethnic homelands without the least qualm? My congratulations on this excellent interiew. Some readers may also be interested in the work done at rightsandresources.org. I would also invite Janet to return to Nepal and update her knowledge.

I would very much like to share with her the findings of my own research for the Rockefeller Foundation in upland areas of the GMS. She may find it useful as background to her work. In addition, I would be pleased to facilitate any additional research that she may wish to pursue in Akha villages located at the Doi Tung Development Project in Chiangrai Province, Northern Thailand, that she can visit very easily to do some comparative research. I shall now look for her books. Thank you for the interview with the good professor.
