Description

Challenging the Limits: Indigenous Peoples of the Mekong Region. Edited by Prasit Leepreecha, Don McCaskill, and Kwanchewan Buadaeng. Chiang Mai: Mekong Press, 2008. 379 pp. Over the past three decades the Mekong region has experienced rapid economic development as well as social transformation at varying paces, against the general background of decentralization. It is particularly interesting to examine how indigenous people have evolved in this context, given the marginalization imposed by state policies and what kind of coping mechanisms can be developed within such frameworks to participate in development without losing their cultural identities as ethnic minorities. "Challenging the limits" is thus a provocative book title among the rich book landscape and consists of a mainly ethnographic approach to describing the diversity of strategies such as reviving traditions, cross-border migration, religious conversion and regional networking as this region is also increasingly exposed to globalization.
