Among these diverse peoples are some whose ways of life are threatened by the accelerating assault of forces of change including environmental degradation, population growth, land loss, warfare, disease, and the penetration of global markets. This volume examines twelve Asian groups whose way of life is endangered. Some are ""indigenous"" peoples, some are not; each group represents a unique answer to the question of how to survive and thrive oIndigenous peoplesSouth AsiaIndigenous peoplesAsia, CentralSouth AsiaEthnic relationsAsia, CentralEthnic relationsSouth AsiaSocial conditionsAsia, CentralSocial conditionsIndigenous peoplesIndigenous peoples305.80054Brower Barbara Anne1880452Johnston Barbara Rose1877856MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910967026203321Disappearing peoples4494436UNINA
