Incorporating original fieldwork carried out over a period of
more than ten years, combined with innovative theoretical argument,
Globalization, Culture and Society in Laos presents one of the
first sociological investigations into modern Laos. Boike Rehbein
gives a fascinating overview of contemporary Lao culture and
society, whilst linking local and national phenomena to tendencies
of globalization and the history of the region.
The book introduces a new theoretical approach based on the
sociology of Pierre Bourdieu, applying this sociology to the
interpretation of Lao history. It also examines various aspects of
Lao culture and society, including economics, politics, language,
higher education, music, and religion. Rehbein concludes by
attempting to synthesize these cultural elements with the impact of
globalization to give a synopsis of contemporary Lao society.
Written by an expert in Lao history and culture, familiar with
the language and the people, this book will be of huge interest to
students and scholars of Laos, Southeast Asia, social theory and
globalization.
