Though they share much with other migrants in the ethnic patchwork of the region, the Lahu maintain a vigorous sense of themselves as a distinct people. New Years is their prime time for celebrating what it means to be Lahu. Candles For New Years is the first visual portrait of Lahu life prepared for English-speaking viewers. Anthropologist Jacquetta Hill has followed for more than a decade the fate of a group of Lahu who cleared the forest and built a community north of Chiang Mai, Thailand. In this film, she describes the Lahu New Year as celebrated by the community: the elaborate preparations to appease the spirits they rely upon to bring them good fortune, the dancing & feasting and the mingling with friends and relatives from sister villages.<br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/hill-jacquetta-c628all.aspx">Hill, Jacquetta</a> to see additional products in this category.</div> https://store.der.org/fit-surroundings-p817.aspx Product817 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 14:53:00 GMT <div style="float:left"><a class="url" href="https://store.der.org/fit-surroundings-p817.aspx"><img src="//cdn.nexternal.com/der/images/fit-surroundings.jpg" alt="Fit Surroundings" border="0" hspace="3"></a></div><span class="riRssTitle"><a href="https://store.der.org/fit-surroundings-p817.aspx">Fit Surroundings</a></span><br><a href="https://store.der.org/fit-surroundings-p817.aspx">Buy Now:</a> <span color="#990000"><b>$295.00</b></span> <br /><br /><div>Based on more than a decade of field research, this colorful report on the high-touch craft of shellfish diving, takes us to the coast of the Shima Peninsula in central Japan. Here most of the divers (ama) are women and many of them are older with an average age of 50. By taking you into different settings where the divers operate, the program allows you to sample a social environment in which fierce individual competition underwater is checked and balanced by a spirited colleagueship carefully nurtured among groups of divers as they relax on shore. The program is suitable for use at the secondary school level and above, for courses not only about Japan, but about gender, aging, and sustainable environments, or "fit surroundings." A study guide which includes additional information and suggested readings is available below.<br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/hill-jacquetta-c628all.aspx">Hill, Jacquetta</a> to see additional products in this category.</div>
