The Cult of the Thirty-Seven Spirits (Nats) in Burma

$9.99
Merging Animism and Buddhism
The Cult of the Thirty-Seven Spirits (Nats) in Burma―Merging Animism and Buddhism is a study about the religious belief of the Burmese people that includes traditional (or indigenous) animistic worship of spirits and deities of Hindu-Buddhist origin to a specific concept within Theravada Buddhism.
Nat worship has a much longer history in Burma (modern Myanmar) than Buddhism, and worshipers believe that areas, places, objects and people are associated with and governed by particular nats.
When King Anawrahta of Bagan shaped the first Burmese nation by defeating the dominance of the Mon people in the 11th century, he also established a new religious belief system by combining Animism and Buddhism, which is still practiced by the Burmese people today.

Origin of the Tai People 6―Northern Tai-Speaking People of the Red River Delta and Their Habitat Today

$7.49
Origin of the Tai People 6―Northern Tai-Speaking People of the Red River Delta and Their Habitat Today explains the involvement of Tai-Kadai people in the early history of modern Vietnam, especially their early presence in the Red River Delta.
A number of modern scholars propose that the ancient Yue people, who inhabited at the end of the 1st millennium BC this region, included not only Yue proper, but the majority of this group were in fact Tai-Kadai-speaking people, who in turn were genetically linked with the aboriginal Austronesians of ancient Taiwan.

Origin of the Tai People 5―Cradle of the Tai People and the Ethnic Setup Today

$7.49
Origin of the Tai People 5―Cradle of the Tai People and the Ethnic Setup Today deals with the early homeland (or ‘Urheimat’) of the Tai people and the contemporary ethnic makeup of the area. New evidence emerged across various academic disciplines that the people who spoke Tai-Kadai languages at the time in history when the first Han Chinese moved southwards across the Yangtze River never spread across the vast southern Chinese region but were concentrated in the more concluded (and mountainous) area of modern provinces of Guangxi, Guizhou, Guangdong and Hunan of southern China as well as the adjoining modern provinces Ha Giang, Cao Bang Lang Son and Quang Ninh of Northeast Vietnam, even extending into the Red River Valley as we now know.

Those ancient forebears, named pre-Austronesians, migrated from the area of the mid-Huang He Valley (or mid-Yellow River Valley) of modern northeastern China southward into the Yangtze River Delta of eastern China, and followed the coastal route to the Fujian coast of southeastern China.

Early Port Cities in the Malay Peninsula

$4.99
Early Port Cities in the Malay Peninsula gives most recent discovered information about the historical spread of Indian (or better Tamil) culture from southern India across the Bay of Bengal to the Malay Peninsula and from there to other parts of mainland Southeast Asia (Funan, Champa, Chenla and Dvaravati) and finally to maritime Southeast Asia.
As this work will show, it was not an Indianization but a Tamilization, since the ethnic Tamil people of the southernmost region of India played the active part to transfer their religious and cultural traits from their homeland to Southeast Asia.
