Product Description

Product Description

This volume documents in photographs the 34 different tribes of Burma. As an anthropological order, these tribes reflect the wide diversity of races in Burma: many, living only miles apart, speak entirely different languages and have completely different ways of life. The book contains anthropological and geographical information about the tribes. The tribes are being resettled by the present government, so this work also acts as a political commentary.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of nice pictures of future historical importance, 11 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Vanishing Tribes of Burma (Hardcover)
Eventually I just had to shell out the money for this book, the pictures are so nice. Lots of them are posed photos of people in their best clothes, and it would have been nice to have a few more of everyday life. But I understand his difficulty. In most parts of Myanmar if get your camera out models will appear and volunteer, especially children. But they are more shy in tribal villages, and wanted to dress up before you could photograph. Not just of interest to the ethnographer, also to people with an interest in textiles, body adornments, etc.
