AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document discusses the effects of the Vietnam War on the Rhade and neighboring indigenous peoples. Before 1960, Rhade society was organized into broadly autonomous villages. The intensification of the Vietnam War by the mid-1960s led to the displacement of entire villages, with surviving families and individuals coming to depend on one or the other of the warring factions. As the fighting subsided, villages were left with a shortage of male labor and women were compelled to do men’s work. The victorious communist government forcefully broke up traditional longhouses and extended families into private homes and nuclear families. Another post-war change was an increasing engagement of some Rhade in new economic opportunities, including cultivating market gardens and opening retail shops.
