First published in 1991 and quickly out of print, this book was hailed as "an outstanding contribution to Southeast Asian ethnography. . . . [It] is highly recommended not only for specialists in traditional hunting and fishing but also for those readers who wish to gain some insight 'from the native's point of view' into a fascinating tribal minority culture of highland Southeast Asia" (Roland Mischung, Asian Folklore Studies). The book's vivid descriptions and illustrations were especially praised.
This reproduction of Hunting and Fishing is augmented by new material on food cultivation and its preparation among the Kammu by Kàm Ràw (Damrong Tayanin) and Håkan Lundström.
