Tooker explores the active role that spatial practices have played in maintaining cultural autonomy. The book expands current debates about power relations in the region from a mostly political and economic framework into the domains of ritual, cosmology, and indigenous meaning and social systems.ICAS publications series.Monographs ;6.Akha (Southeast Asian people)Thailand, NorthernSocial life and customsSpace and timePolitical aspectsSpace and timePsychological aspectsAkha (Southeast Asian people)Social life and customs.Space and timePolitical aspects.Space and timePsychological aspects.305.800951Tooker Deborah E.1531689UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910790371503321Space and the production of cultural difference among the Akha prior to globalization3777557UNINA
