In so doing, it provides a balanced perspective, drawing from the fields of memory studies and classical historical research. Following a chronological approach stretching from the nineteenth century to the present, it extends narrative analysis through a comparative ethnography of territorial cults, a key component of the performative and material presentification of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly interdisciplinary in nature, \u003ci\u003eHistory, Memory and Territorial Cults in the Highlands of Laos \u003c\/i\u003ewill be useful to students and scholars of anthropology, history, and religious studies, as well as Asian culture and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40234672980065,"sku":"9781032087382","price":41.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/459218c51585f857ddbe32d25d2f3e38.jpg?v=1658362828","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032087382-history-memory-and-territorial-cults-in-the-highlands-of-laos","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
