"This book, based on extensive original research including long-term anthropological
research among the Lahu, provides an overview of the traditional way of life of the
Lahu, their social system, culture and beliefs, and discusses the ways in which these
are changing. It shows how the Lahu are especially vulnerable because of their lack
of political representatives and a state educated elite which can engage with, and
be part of, the government administrative system. The Lahu are one of many relatively
small ethnic minorities in China--overall the book provides an example of how the
Chinese government approaches these relatively small ethnic minorities."--Publisher's
