A key question of this thesis is how the hill-tribes fair in this changing scenario, focusing on the implications of key 'modernisation' strategies for these minority groups, including resettlement, international tourism, road construction, and various government-directed cultural modification projects. The overall finding of this thesis is that the impact of Laoisation is mixed and cannot be evaluated thoroughly without taking into account the perspectives of different hill-tribes. Laoisation does entail wide-ranging changes to people's lives but no clear conclusions can be drawn if as to whether this process is necessarily socially and culturally corrosive. This is because the government is not the sole influence in the lives of the hill-tribes today. Other influences, such as tourism and global processes, come from further afield.

Discusses the programs, policies, and laws that affect ethnic minorities in eight countries: Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Once targeted for intervention, people such as the Orang Asli of Malaysia and the "hill tribes" of Thailand often become the subject of programs aimed at radically changing their lifestyles, which the government views as backward or primitive. Several chapters highlight the tragic consequences of forced resettlement, a common result of these programs.

This authoritative and wide-ranging 1997 history traces events in this little-known country from ancient monarchy, through its establishment as a French colony, to independence in 1953, the People's Democratic Republic, and the present one-party authoritarianism. The book highlights Laos' complex and shifting political alliances. The struggle for independence from France was followed by a struggle for unity and neutrality in the face of persistent foreign intervention, as the country was drawn into the war in Vietnam. Only with the end of the Cold War and the withdrawal of Vietnamese troops has Laos been able to reassert its neutral foreign policy and develop a market economy. This book is an impressive political, social, cultural and economic history. It will be essential for anyone wanting to understand Laos as it joins ASEAN, faces great economic challenges and struggles to maintain its cultural identity.
