Bordering China and Vietnam, Phongsaly is the northernmost and one of the most isolated provinces of Laos. A fascinating diversity of ethnic groups live here. In this Babel of fewer than 170,000 inhabitants, no less than thirty languages and dialects are spoken. Who are the Seng, the Muchi, the Pisu? One will search in vain for information on these groups, unknown to the outside world. Based on four years of ethnological research, this richly illustrated book provides a fascinating overview of the cultural wealth of these groups. It reveals what makes each of these groups unique, but also what they share and what unites them, because through their interaction, they create a shared world. It is aimed at all curious people who are attracted by the different lifestyles of the people of Laos and more broadly of this vast mountainous and forested area at the crossroads between the Indic and Sinic civilizations.
