Description

The Golden Peninsula: ture and Adaptation in Mainland Southeast Asia has long been recognized as the best all-around introduction to the diverse tural traditions found in Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and tnam. First published in 1977, it continues to offer useful insights to students and travelers to the region. In five well-defined and succinct chapters, Professor Keyes, a leading specialist in the field, offers a jargon-free, copiously annotated synthesis of knowledge about the tural history of tribal, Theravada Buddhist, and tnamese societies. He combines ysis of traditional tural practices with examination of tural conflict in the colonial and post-colonial periods. The book remains unique in providing a detailed examination of urban life as well as of life in rural communities.
