Life in a Kam village in southwest China, 1930-1949 / by Ou Chaoquan ; translated by D. Norman Geary.
Although this unique insider's account of minority life in China is clearly a book in itself, it is also the sequel to the much-acclaimed The Kam People of China (Geary, Ou and others, 2003). It describes the hitherto scarcely researched culture of people from Xiangye village, in an untraveled...

Ou, Chaoquan. Life in a Kam village in southwest China, 1930-1949 [electronic resource] / by Ou Chaoquan ; translated by D. Norman Geary. 1st ed. Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2007. 1 online resource (312 p.) text txt computer c online resource cr Sinica Leidensia, 0169-9563 ; v. 80 English Although this unique insider's account of minority life in China is clearly a book in itself, it is also the sequel to the much-acclaimed The Kam People of China (Geary, Ou and others, 2003). It describes the hitherto scarcely researched culture of people from Xiangye village, in an untraveled corner of Guizhou province, Southwest China, in the 20 years leading up to Liberation in 1949. Xiangye is a Kam (Dong) nationality village, so the book highlights Kam culture of the 1930's and 1940's. It is a fascinating and unparalleled study, also offering exceptionally clear details of many aspects of material culture and social customs, for example, the work of rice-farming, cotton production, and cooking, beautifully illustrated with line drawings and photographs, that should appeal to anyone interested in the Kam people, China, or in ethnology generally. The author grew up in Xiangye and later became Professor of Anthropology at a university in Qinghai province. The manuscript was first written in Chinese, with the intention of having it translated into English for an outside readership. English translation of unpublished Chinese manuscript; hence no Chinese uniform title. Includes bibliographical references and index.
