N2 - The Karen are one of the major ethnic minority groups in the Himalayan
highlands, living predominantly in the border area between Thailand and
Burma. As the largest ethnic minority in Thailand, they have often been
in conflict with the Thai majority. This book is the first major
ethnographic and anthropological study of the Karen for over a decade
and looks at such key issues as history, ethnic identity, religious
change, the impact of government intervention, education land management
and gender relations.
