Except on tourist brochures, the indigenous peoples of Laos, Thailand, Vietnam,
and southern China (Yunnan) are the least visible, and most excluded, of citizens.
All these countries have used similar strategies to classify, include, or exclude
minority peoples from the project of nationalism. Understanding the cultural
and economic trajectories of key minorities such as the Dai, Hmong, Lahu, Akha,
and Karen is critical to apprehending the construction, workings, and future of
each of these nation-states, indeed of the Mekong region as a whole.
Conversely, as vividly demonstrated here, the minority peoples
—
many
spanning more than one country
—
have adapted and accommodated to, or
actively resisted, majority culture and state policy alike. There continues to
be undeniable impoverishment, cultural loss, and social suffering in some
communities, particularly amongst ex-swidden based upland ones in Vietnam
and Laos; the rearranging or reconstituting of trading and social networks;
the over-commodification of aspects of culture, often for domestic tourism;
and struggles to maintain language, rituals, and belief systems.
The studies here bring alive these communities in transformation, pointing
out those in near dissolution, such as some Akha villages in Laos affected by over-
zealous opium-eradication programs, as well as those hopefully reclaiming and
expanding their cultural space, such as the Dai in Sipsongpanna/Xishuangbanna
engaged in a cross-border revival of Theravada Buddhism and Dai culture.
This is essential reading for anyone who wishes to uncover the nuances
and interplay of ethnicity, nationalism, and change in the Mekong region,
and serves as a companion volume to Living in a Globalized World: Ethnic
Minorities in the Greater Mekong Subregion, edited by Don McCaskill,
Prăsit
Leepreecha, and He Shaoying (Mekong Press
2007).
