Situated in the mountainous border regions of Southwest China and Southeast Asia, the Lahu have experienced significant religious shifts?adopting Fu Cu (Buddha) belief in response to Qing dynasty frontier policies, transitioning to Christianity following the Qing suppression of the Fu Cu movement, and confronting the atheistic stance of the Communist state post-1949. This study meticulously examines how the Lahu have navigated these changes, integrating external religious and political influences while preserving their cultural identity. Lihong Lei, Assistant Professor at the Fudan Development Institute, Fudan University. His research explores religious change, frontier governance, and nation-state formation through historical anthropology, drawing on extensive fieldwork and archival studies among borderland communities in Southwest China. 410 0$aPolitical Science and International Studies 606 $aAsia$xPolitics and government 606 $aApplied anthropology 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aAsian Politics 606 $aApplied Anthropology 606 $aPolitical Science 615 0$aAsia$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aApplied anthropology. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aAsian Politics. 615 24$aApplied Anthropology. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 676 $a320.95 700 $aLei$b Lihong$01889074 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911054588903321 996 $aCrossing Faiths$94529122 997 $aUNINA
