A Cultural Anthropological Study of the Akha Hill-tribes in Northern Thailand

作者阐述了阿卡族的族源、迁徙过程、人口及分布,分析了阿卡族社会结构、生产方式、宗教信仰等方面的变迁。

The Akha ethnic group emerged in upper northern Thailand in early 1900s and dispersed in the mountain areas where they have long been called “Hill-tribes”. As a marginalized people, the Akha practiced shifting cultivation until the Thai Government implemented a series of policies on forest protection and Hill-tribes resettlement beginning from early 1960s. The Akha have thereafter been in dilemma between integrating into Thai society and protecting their conventional cultures.
