Disappearing Peoples? Indigenous Groups and Ethnic Minorities in South and Central Asia
Barbara Brower and Barbara Rose Johnston, editors
Published May 2007, 288 pages, $29.95 paperback

“Disappearing Peoples? is a groundbreaking book that describes how economic globalization, imperialism, war, and climate change in the twenty-first century threaten various Asian people’s cultural heritage and how they are striving to maintain their traditions and identity under such extreme pressures. This volume uses twelve chapters on specific peoples—the Raika of India, Tibetans in China and India, Hazara in Afghanistan, Mangghuer in China—to illustrate the strong Introduction, which explains the import of dwindling diversity on humankind. The book provides a good overview that should whet the reader’s appetite for more knowledge about Asian peoples, the causes and consequences of cultural homogenization.”
