Situated in the mountainous border regions of Southwest China and Southeast Asia, the Lahu have experienced significant religious shifts--adopting \u003cem\u003eFu Cu \u003c\/em\u003e(Buddha) belief in response to Qing dynasty frontier policies, transitioning to Christianity following the Qing suppression of the \u003cem\u003eFu Cu\u003c\/em\u003e movement, and confronting the atheistic stance of the Communist state post-1949. This study meticulously examines how the Lahu have navigated these changes, integrating external religious and political influences while preserving their cultural identity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palgrave MacMillan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47595000922263,"sku":"9789819552290","price":11208.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789819552290.webp?v=1774988008","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/crossing-faiths-fu-cu-missionaries-and-nation-state-in-southwest-china-9789819552290","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
