More about the book
Tapp discusses paradoxes in the historical and ethnographic construction of Hmong cultural identity compared with the majority Han Chinese identity in this ethnography of the Hmong in China. Based on his own extensive fieldwork, Tapp (anthropology, Australian National U.) examines Hmong rituals and traditions including shamanism, ancestral respect, death, livelihood, kinship, local organization, and intellectual culture. The book also offers accounts of ceremonies, rituals, and folktales with translations of Hmong songs and stories. The book is a reprint of a work first published in 2001.
