"The Kam, also known as the Dong, are a minority of 2.5 million people living in three provinces and one autonomous region in central southern China. Their population ranks them the eleventh largest of China's 55 minority nationalities. The Kam are rice farmers with a flair for carpentry reflected in their village drum towers and wind-and-rain bridges. They speak a language notable for its many tones and have a strong singing culture, unparalleled throughout the rest of China. The Kam are still essentially a hidden people as very little has previously been published about them. This book, a co-operative effort between Kam and foreign scholars, is the first comprehensive introduction to Kam culture to be published in English."--BOOK JACKET.
