Description

“The Structure of Chin Society: A Tribal People of Burma Adapted to a Non-Western Civilization,” this book offers an in-depth anthropological and sociological analysis of the Chin people of Burma (Myanmar).

The core themes it cover include:

  • Traditional Social Organization: It would detail the fundamental components of Chin society, such as their clan systems (patrilineal descent), village autonomy, leadership roles (like chiefs and elders), and kinship networks.
  • Customs and Institutions: The book would explore specific social customs, traditional laws, and key institutions (which might include communal living structures like the Zawlbuk in certain Chin groups) that defined their way of life.
  • Adaptation to Non-Western Civilization: A significant aspect of the book, as indicated by its subtitle, is likely the examination of how Chin society adapted to and interacted with other non-Western civilizations or influences within their historical context in Burma, rather than solely focusing on Westernization. This could involve interactions with dominant Burmese culture, other ethnic groups, or internal societal developments.

In essence, the book aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the internal workings and historical development of Chin social structures, highlighting their unique adaptations within a broader non-Western civilizational framework in Burma.
