Description
In a richly detailed examination of the interplay between state authority, religious practices, and local livelihoods, Edyta Roszko delves into the lives of fishing communities in Central Vietnam. Through her adept ethnographic lens, she uncovers the intricate relationships these communities maintain with their environment, the state, and the spiritual realms that intertwine with their daily activities.
The narrative shines a light on the resilience and adaptive strategies of these fishermen as they navigate the challenges posed by political currents and environmental shifts in the South China Sea. By weaving together personal stories and broader socio-political contexts, Roszko paints a vivid portrait of the complexities faced by those who exist at the intersection of tradition and modernity.
