South and Central Asia is a region of extraordinary cultural and
environmental diversity and home to nearly one-quarter of the
earth's population. Among these diverse peoples are some whose ways
of life are threatened by the accelerating assault of forces of
change including environmental degradation, population growth, land
loss, warfare, disease, and the penetration of global markets. This
volume examines twelve Asian groups whose way of life is
endangered. Some are "indigenous" peoples, some are not; each group
represents a unique answer to the question of how to survive and
thrive on the planet earth, and illustrates both the threats and
the responses of peoples caught up in the struggle to sustain
cultural meaning, identity, and autonomy. Each chapter, written by
an expert scholar for a general audience, offers a cultural
overview, explores both threats to survival and the group's
responses, and provokes discussion and further research with "food
for thought." This powerful documentation of both tragedy and hope
for the twenty-first-century survival of centuries-old cultures is
a key reference for anyone interested in the region, in cultural
survival, or in the interplay of diversification and
homogenization.
