This current volume is the second in a series of monographs on alternative practices in Southeast Asia. It highlights 15 case studies of grassroots organizations and civil society groups in the Philippines, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar/Burma, Timor-Leste, Cambodia, and Manipur (Northeast India), as well as civil society organizations and cultural groups. Volume 1 (Towards a Peoples’ Alternative Regionalism) focuses on Philippine cases. These are all a continuation of the ongoing work of the University of the Philippines Center for Integrative and Development Studies (UP CIDS) Program on Alternative Development (AltDev) to document and publish cases of alternative practices of grassroots communities in Southeast Asia. The case studies in this volume are divided into four categories, namely: (1) alternative trade and enterprise, (2) gendered activism, (3) peoples’ participation in governance and development, and (4) cultural work and resistance.
