Turbulent Times and Enduring Peoples : Mountain Minorities in the South-East Asian Massif, Hardback Book

Turbulent Times and Enduring Peoples : Mountain Minorities in the South-East Asian Massif Hardback

Edited by Jean Michaud

Hardback

Description

Scattered across the South-East Asian massif, a few dozen ethnic groups (numbering around 50 million) maintain highly original cultural identities and political and economic traditions, against pressure from national majorities.

They face the same challenges. The means by which social change has been imposed by the lowlanders are similar from country to country, and the results are comparable.

The originality of this book lies in the combination of multi-disciplinary mixing of social anthropology, history and human geography; multi-culturality grouping together several cultural contexts; trans-nationality straddling five countries and bridging the traditional divide between South China and Mainland South-East Asia; and history reaching back 300 years.
