Transborder TheorIes and ParadIgms In EthnomusIcological StudIes of Folk MusIc: VIsIons for Mo Lam in Mainland Southeast Asia ThIs talk explores the nature and IdentIty of tradItIonal musIc, prIncIpally khaen musIc and lam performIng arts In northeastern ThaIland (Isan) and Laos. Mo lam refers to an expert of lam singIng who Is routInely accompanIed by a mo khaen, a skIlled player of the bamboo panpIpe. DurIng 1972 and 1973, Dr. ChonpaIrot conducted fIeld studIes on Mo lam in northeast Thailand and Laos with Dr. Terry E. Miller. For many generatIons, LaotIan and Thai villagers have crossed the natIonal border constItuted by the Mekong RIver to visit relatIves and to partIcipate In regular festivals. However, ChonpaIrot and Miller’s fieldwork took place durIng the fInal stages of the VIetnam War which had begun more than a decade earlIer. DurIng theIr fIeldwork they collected cassette recordings of lam singIng from LaotIan radIo statIons In VIentIane and Savannakhet. ChonpaIrot also conducted fieldwork among Laotian artists living in Thai refugee camps. After the VIetnam War ended, many more Laotians who had worked for the AmerIcans fled to ThaI refugee camps. ChonpaIrot delIneated Mo lam regIonal melodIes coupled to specIfic IdentItIes In each locality of the music’s origin. He chose Lam Khon Savan from southern Laos for hIs dIssertation topIc, and also collected data from senIor Laotian mo lam tradItion-bearers then resIdent In the United States and France. These became his main informants.

  • THE TRANSITION of ETHNIC MINORITY GIRLS in VIETNAM from Primaryforeword to SECONDARY EDUCATION
    THE TRANSITION OF ETHNIC MINORITY GIRLS IN VIETNAM FROM PRIMARYForeword TO SECONDARY EDUCATION As one of the earliest signatories of the Education For All declaration, Vietnam has repeatedly dedicated itself to achieving the goals laid out in that framework. In this spirit, Vietnam has successfully achieved the universalization of primary education and is working towards the elimination of gender inequality throughout all levels of the sector. Further, by the year 2010, Vietnam will have achieved universal education for lower secondary students, and by 2015, will have universal upper secondary education, as well. Nevertheless, the Government of Vietnam recognizes that some segments of society remain underserved despite its best efforts. In particular, the challenges of providing quality education services for boys and girls of the many ethnic minority groups in the country has raised a significant barrier to the achievement of the government's targets. To address these concerns, the Ministry of Education and Training, UNICEF, and UNESCO have joined their common pursuits of institutional capacity building, gender mainstreaming, and the attainment of quality education for all to conduct a joint research on the status of ethnic minority girls focusing on the barriers to continued learning these girls face when transitioning from primary schools to lower secondary schools. The study is the product of a partnership under the framework of the United Nations Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI), an Education For All flagship for girls' education which seeks to narrow the gender gap in access to all levels of education. Though a complex time for many children, ethnic minority girls in particular are confronted with numerous challenges as they attempt to navigate the passage to early adolescence.

  • Not for Distribution
    NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION Nora Flaherty August 2016 Vietnam: A Case Study in Indigenous Repression I. Introduction On the eve of President Obama’s visit to Vietnam in May of 2016, the directors of Human Rights Watch sent the president a letter urging him to raise human rights concerns in public and in private with Vietnamese authorities. The directors note that freedoms of expression, association, and assembly are limited, the media is controlled and censored, courts lack independence, and that Vietnam’s new president, General Tran Dai Quang, is the former head of the country’s notorious Ministry of Public Security.1 The letter urges President Obama to explicitly articulate that the United States stands with activists and their struggle to obtain basic freedoms, and that the United States requires Vietnam to uphold internationally recognized human rights standards in order to create a closer diplomatic relationship. However, President Obama’s visit did not fulfill many of the human rights organizations’ recommendations, as the closest he came to chastising Vietnam’s human rights record was to clarify: “I made it clear that the United States does not seek to impose our form of government on Vietnam or any nation … at the same time, we will continue to speak out on human rights.”2 A combination of economic priorities and geopolitical goals prevented President Obama from demanding that Vietnam raise its human rights standards. In light of the increasingly tense situation of Chinese aggression in the South China Sea, Vietnam has been growing in strategic 1 Adams, Brad, and Sarah Margon. "Re: Vietnam."

  • Rice-Related Beliefs of Some Ethnic Groups Belonging to the Mon-Khmer Family Languages
    Vietnam Social Sciences, No. 5(163) - 2014 RICE-RELATED BELIEFS OF SOME ETHNIC GROUPS BELONGING TO THE MON-KHMER FAMILY LANGUAGES NGUYEN THI QUE LOAN * Abstract: The ethnic groups belonging to the Mon-Khmer family languages believe in polytheism. With the concept of animism, they believe that the universe in general and rice in particular has body and soul; then, they develop the belief about the life cycle of rice. The performance of different rituals that mark important moments in the rice growing cycle (such as soil selection for cultivation, seed sowing, rice production regime when rice stalks are shooting up, harvesting...) aims to beg the spirits for good weather and a prosperous life. In addition, it refects the people’s indigenous knowledge of crop cultivation, and most importantly, their behavior with respect to the natural environment. Therefore, dealing with spirits means dealing with the community, and this is a good way for people to educate their children to appreciate those who help themselves. Key words: Rice plants, ethnic group, Mon-Khmer, belief, worship. Ethnic minorities belonging to the Mon - So far, there have been different researches Khmer language group includes 21 ethnic of the ethnic minorities belonging to the groups with the total population of about 2 Mon - Khmer language group from socio- million people, living scattered in the areas economic and cultural perspectives, among to the West and Southwest of the current which there is research addressing agricultural territory of Vietnam.

Starting from the primitive defense form of hamlets, most of the linguistic-ethnic groups used the adjectives meaning “round” to organize the nouns indicating the forms of hamlet – their fundamental community organization. Particularly, the North Bahnaric sub-branch borrowed the nouns of plây, plâi from Austronesian languages to indicate their hamlets. The larger than the hamlets is forms of village, leaving traces in the nouns of plang of Bahnar, kruang of Bru, làng of Viet and làng of Muong. From forms of the community organization of hamlet and village, Viet-Muong people advanced towards establishing nước “nation” as a supreme administrative-political institution.
