South-East Asia is one of the most complex regions in the world
as far as ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity is concerned
with an extremely rich ancient and contemporary history. Because of
this, it offers an exceptionally rich field of study for
inter-ethnic relations. This book examines interethnic
relationships between groups and the dynamics of exchange networks
throughout Asia and includes case studies based in Vietnam, Burma,
Laos, Nepal, China, and Siberia.
The innovative aspect of this book lies in the fact that the
contributors examine relationships between groups and the dynamics
of exchange networks across Asia rather than ethnic groups studied
in isolation. Rendering the important moments of daily life of
ethnic groups and focussing on the exchanges between groups sharing
a specific social space, this approach, today still rarely used in
Asian anthropology, allows systems of exchange to emerge and for us
to understand the systems of power and local leadership from the
inside out.
Inter-Ethnic Dynamics in Asia will be of interest to students
and scholars of Asian culture and society, ethnicity and regional
anthropology.
