Hunting and Fishing in a Kammu Village
Revisiting a Classic Study in Southeast Asian Ethnography
Damrong Tayanin and Kristina Lindell
 |
192 pp., illustrated NIAS Classics # 1 Available from NIAS Press worldwide |
- Offers a unique indigenous account of Kammu life.
- A fascinating, illustrated description of hunting and fishing technologies and practices.
First published in 1991 and quickly sold out, this book was hailed as ‘an outstanding contribution to Southeast Asian ethnography … [It] is highly recommended not only for specialists in traditional hunting and fishing but also for those readers who wish to gain some insight “from the native’s point of view” into a fascinating tribal minority culture of highland Southeast Asia’ (Roland Mischung, Asian Folklore Studies). The book’s vivid descriptions and illustrations were especially praised.
This reproduction of Hunting and Fishing is augmented by new material on food cultivation and its preparation among the Kammu by Kàm Ràw (Damrong Tayanin) and Håkan Lundström.

Apparently, the hot travel destinations this year are Uganda and Burma – at least according to Lonely Planet aficionados. If true, then sales of a recent NIAS Press book – listed as recommended reading in the latest edition of the Lonely Planet guide to Myanmar/Burma – might be about to explode (or maybe not, given its subject matter).
