Rakow, Meg Regina
This book introduces students to the people and country of Laos. The historic "Land of a Million Elephants" (Lan Xang) is filled with diversity and wonder. This book provides background information and suggested topics for an intensive study of the country. The seven chapters are entitled: (1) "Land and People"; (2) "Society and Culture: Lowland Lao"; (3) "Society and Culture: Highland Lao"; (4) "Early History"; (5) "Colonialism and Independence"; (6) "War and Revolution"; and (7) "Laos and Laotians Today."
