ISBN 0-924304-29-4. 1996. 240 pages. Paperback.
In her ethnographic analysis of Shan worldview, the author questions traditional characterizations of the nature and meaning of Buddhism in lowland mainland Southeast Asia. She explores the role power-protection plays in structuring the Shan worldview—producing an anthropological interpretation of Shan society and culture that should prove interesting and informative to students and scholars of Southeast Asian anthropology, religion, culture, or society.
