Scope and content : 1987 – Originating from China, the Lisu migrate with their agriculture. Hounded out of their original homeland like horses from a burning building, they still bear the residue of their fright. The Thai government has hoped that settling these people will make the nation’s borders safer from communist subversion, and from deforestation caused by shifting cultivation and the cultivation of narcotics.
