The Ethnography of Vietnam's Central Highlanders : A Historical Contextualization 1850-1990 Hardback
by Oscar (Copenhagen University, Denmark) Salemink
Part of the Anthropology of Asia series
Hardback
Description
This book looks at ethnographic discourses concerning the indigenous population of Vietnam's Central Highlands during periods of christianization, colonization, war and socialist transformation, and analyses these in their relation to tribal, ethnic, territorial, governmental and gendered discourses.
Salemink's book is a timely contribution to anthropological knowledge, as the ethnic minorities in Vietnam have (again) been the object of fierce academic debate.
This is a historically grounded post-colonial critique relevant to theories of ethnicity and the history of anthropology, and will be of interest to graduate students of anthropology and cultural studies, as well as Vietnam studies.
