Encyclopedia of the Peoples of Asia and Oceania is a new two-volume A-to-Z reference to the peoples of the Asia-Pacific region east of the Caspian Sea, not including the countries of the Middle East. More than 400 entries cover the major peoples that for a time maintained a cultural identity in the area - from ancient to modern times - describing their history, migration, culture, belief system, social organization, and relationship to other peoples. This accessible resource makes it easy for students to find not only entries on the Han and Jurchens but also on 'Chinese: nationality', describing who they are today with cross-references to the various ancestral peoples. Entries on all large or well-known groups include information on their geography, origins, languages, history, and culture. Subsections cover such topics as subsistence, religion, social and political structures, economy, government, military practices, dwellings and architecture, clothing, transportation, technology, art, music, and literature. The back matter includes a chronology, bibliography, and comprehensive index, as well as several appendixes with useful background information on topics such as kinship systems, religious systems, and subsistence systems.

"Richard C. Kagan describes in detail Lee's struggle to reinvent Taiwan's culture and political system by advocating an independent sovereign nation with universal values of human rights, democracy, freedom, and economic justice. He offers new insights into the role Lee played in the volatile Taiwan Strait crisis and his skills as a diplomat to avoid open warfare with the People's Republic of China. Kagan defines Lee's life as a beacon for people looking for new ways to promote democracy and sovereignty. The author sees Taiwan as a vital part of America's national security interests in Asia and believes that the loss of Taiwan to Mainland China would seriously damage American economic and military power in Asia."--BOOK JACKET.

To Sing In Pairs

To Sing In Pairs written by Chun-bin Chen and has been published by A-R Editions, Inc. this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on with Music categories.

By presenting ritual chants of the Pinuyumayan people, one of Taiwan’s sixteen Austronesian-speaking ethnic groups, this edition provides a glimpse into little-known aspects of Austronesian music and culture. The Austronesian geographical realm extends southward from Taiwan and includes insular Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, and Madagascar, making the Austronesian language family the most widespread language family in the world. By revealing the interrelated dualities that permeate Pinuyumayan ritual chants and socio-cultural practices, this edition argues that parallelism, a prominent feature of Austronesian languages pointed out by James J. Fox, lays a foundation for the social and ritual functions performed by Pinuyumayan chants. Through an examination of the Pinuyumayan people’s practice of singing in pairs, the editor introduces the elaborate prosodic design and antiphonal singing practices of Pinuyumayan ritual chants to general readers, performers, composers, and music scholars.
