This well-preserved copy of “Religion of the Hmong Njua” offers a rare glimpse into the spiritual traditions of the Hmong people, an ethnic group with roots in southern China and Southeast Asia. Written by Nusit Chindarsi, a scholar of Hmong culture, this seminal work delves into the animistic beliefs and shamanic practices that have shaped the Hmong worldview for centuries. Originally published in 1976, it remains one of the few comprehensive studies of the Hmong Njua religion, which emphasizes harmony with nature and the veneration of ancestral spirits. Collectors of anthropological and ethnographic literature will appreciate this insightful volume, which not only documents a rich cultural heritage but also sheds light on the resilience of indigenous belief systems in the face of modernization and diaspora. With its well-preserved pages and secure binding, this copy invites readers to immerse themselves in the vibrant tapestry of Hmong spirituality.
