Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This book discusses aspects of social change among the
Jingpo, a section of ethnic Kachin people living in Yunnan along the Sino-Burmese border.
It shows that before the 1949 revolution in China, the Jingpo were quite different from
their Han and Dai neighbors in terms of political, economic, and social structure. The
revolution altered Jingpo society, but certain important characteristics survived the
transformation. One of these includes the continuity of rice cultivation which shaped
economic structures and social relations among villagers.
