Uncertain Lives - Changing Borders and Mobility in the Borderlands of the Upper Mekong
Uncertain Lives - Changing Borders and Mobility in the Borderlands of the Upper Mekong

Life dynamics within the Upper Mekong borderlands.

If you're intrigued by the complexities of border lives and how political lines impact everyday existence, "Uncertain Lives" offers a deep dive into that reality. This book captures the essence of the Upper Mekong, its communities, and their constant adaptation to changing borders and policies. It's not merely informative but also a thought-provoking journey into a world where mobility is both a way of life and a challenge.

Description

This collection forms a noble addition to and an advance on an already considerable genre of ethnically-focused collections on the borderlands between China and mainland Southeast Asia. It represents the latest in a strong set of collaborations between social scientists at Chiang Mai University in northern Thailand and those at Yunnan University in China, with new perspectives and approaches emerging from regional cooperation that now includes researchers from Laos and Vietnam.
