The international media has traditionally reported on the triad secret societies in terms of a mythic Chinese Mafia, and accounts of their criminal activities have often been sensationalised.
Academic historians, sinologists and sociologists in the last twenty years have taken a different view of the development of such societies in South China and Southeast Asia. Some saw them as primitive revolutionaries who played an indirect, yet important, role in the 1911 revolution of China. Others tended to conceptualise Chinese triads in terms of brotherhood associations and mutual aid societies.
This collection assembles for the first time a highly interesting mixture of scholarly studies and field reports.
