Description

Explore the complex social structures of Laos with this academic study from Routledge. The Lao: Gender, Power, and Livelihood provides a detailed look at village life, covering essential topics such as kinship, family dynamics, and religion. This book examines how household structures and ethnicity shape the daily lives of people in rural Lao society. A major focus of this work is the impact of recent development projects on traditional social roles. It specifically looks at how these changes affect the relative power held by men and women. By studying the responses of women to these shifts, the text offers a deep understanding of how modern development interacts with long-standing cultural practices. Written by Carol J. Ireson-Doolittle, a Professor of Sociology at Willamette University, this book is a valuable resource for students and researchers in anthropology and sociology. It builds on the author's extensive research regarding women's work and family life in rural Laos, making it a significant addition to the study of Southeast Asian social sciences.
