Abstract
This book provides ethnographic description of Khanh Hau, a village in the former South Veitnam located along the highway connecting Saigon with the Cambodian border. It shows that villagers witnessed little changes in their family system, livelihood activities, kinship patterns, religious system and local administrative practices, despite a newly established central government and decades of civil war.
