Description

The Lao provides an in-depth examination of culture and village life in Laos, with particular focus on how gender dynamics and power relations have shifted through recent development projects. This anthropological case study explores kinship and family structures, gender relations, households, religious practices, livelihood strategies, and ethnicity within rural Lao communities. Author Carol J. Ireson-Doolittle, Professor of Sociology at Willamette University, draws on extensive fieldwork to analyse the responses of women to economic and social changes. The book combines rigorous sociological research with accessible writing, making it valuable for students of anthropology, development studies, and gender studies who seek to understand how modernisation affects traditional societies and the roles of women within them.
