Tales From Indochina (international Museum Of Cultures Publication, 21) [Paperback]

Contains a selection of folktales collected in Vietnam from 1960 to 1975. Vietnam's indigenous minority peoples are representatives of several language groupings. Those whose stories are found in this volume are from three language families: Austronesian, Mon-Khmer, and Tai. The minority groups whose oral literature was selected for this volume also contrast their basic forms of social organization as reflected in the tales themselves.
