RETRACTED: TRADITIONAL COSTUME OF THE AKHA PEOPLE IN NORTHERN THAILAND
Abstract
At present, the traditional material culture of the Akha people in Northern Thailand is hardly covered in the Russian science. The traditional culture, history and linguistic processes of this nation remain unexplored. In the meanwhile, the growing sociocultural relations between Russia and Thailand are calling forth the necessity of reciprocal research into the traditional culture of both countries. The urgency of investigating the traditional material culture of the Akha is confirmed by the rapid and, not infrequently, coercive integration of these people into the process of modernization of the Thai society and state. The opportunity to study the Akha as an ethnic whole may only remain possible within the oncoming few decades. In the paper an attempt is undertaken to explore the traditional material culture of the Akha people in the northern provinces of Thailand (Chiang-Rai, Chiang-Mai), to characterize the main tendencies of their sociocultural development.
