ren started with this topic as one minor aspect of Thai racial composition. I'll focus on potential (cultural) assimilation patterns. Lieberman 1978: Ethnic Politics in Eighteenth-Century Burma, p. 457: Kachin > Shan: - desire: different "ecological" and/or political role - changes: conversion to Buddhism, adopting Shan dress and speech - source: Lieberman 1978 See also the topic 'Shan' ethnicities. |
