Projectland: Life in a Lao Socialist Model Village High Holly
In Projectland, anthropologist Holly High combines an engaging first-person narrative of her fieldwork with a political ethnography of Laos, more than forty years after the establishment of the Lao PDR and more than seven decades since socialist ideologues first "liberated" parts of upland country. The villagers are ethnic Kantu (Katu), an ethnicity associated by early ethnographers above all with human sacrifice. In a remote village of Kandon, High finds that although socialism has declined significantly as an economic model, it is ascendant and thriving in the culture of politics and the politics of culture.Kandon is remarkable by any account.
In 1996, Kandon village moved and resettled in a plateau area. They had repelled French control, and as the war went on, the revolutionary forces of Sekong were headquartered in Kandon territories. "New Kandon" has become Sekong
