The Phunoy are a Tibeto-Burmese population group in Phongsaly
Province that has long been considered acculturated because of its
adoption of various features of neighboring Tai societies,
particularly Buddhism. This pioneering ethnography examines the
Phunoy's supposed acculturation and independent identity,
demonstrating how the Phunoy emerged as a group and constructed a
"mirroring" relationship with the various Tai and Lao realms
dominating the region. As guardians of the borders and allies of
the colonial authorities who administered the province, they
progressively formed a territory where they established themselves
as indispensable intermediaries between state power and the other
mountain ethnic groups. The integration of the Phunoy continues
within Lao society today and is part of the history of the
stabilization of the margins in northern mainland Southeast Asia.
