Delete	Politics of Ritual and Remembrance: Laos Since 1975 [Buy it!]	Evans, Grant	USD 22.00 (Tue May 28 05:53:31 2024)	Alibris	The Unskoolbookshop via Alibris	University of Hawaii Press 1998 Soft cover Very Good Minus Book Crease on cover. A very nice, sturdy, unmarked copy. NOT a forme library book. From the back cover: 'Communist revolutions in this century have suppressed existing ritual and symbolic structures and invented new ones. Armed with new flags, new national celebrations, or new school textbooks, they have attempted to reconstruct social memory. This fascinating work of political anthropology examines the case of Laos from the heady days of the 1975 revolution to the more sober 'post-socialist' present. Grant Evans traces the attempt at ritual and symbolic change in Laos, and the recent reemergence of older and deeper cultural structures, while identifying what has perhaps been irretrievably lost. In this challenging study of the cultural consequences of failed total revolution, Evans reaches some striking conclusions concerning the nature of social memory, cultural possibilities foregone, and the need for cultural continuity.'
