Special issue on Nicholas Tapp’s anthropology
Alert: the special issue entitled "Ethnicity and Mobility: Nicholas Tapp's Anthropology," is vol. 28, of the Journal of Social Science published by the Faculty of Social Sciences, Chiang Mai University, Thailand. ISSN 0125-4138. It was edited by Aranya Siriphon.
The issue has 14+ articles commemorating and discussing the work of Nicholas Tapp, who passed away in 2015. At the time of his untimely death, he served as director of the anthropology institute at East China Normal University, in Shanghai, China -- his legacy there is described in one of the papers. Other articles in this special issue concern his Hmong studies, and some are of a different or more personal nature, such as the reminiscences by his daughter Amanda Tapp, and by his colleagues Andrew Turton and the Hmong scholar Gary Y. Lee. Several authors (Jean Michaud, Stephan Feuchtwang, and myself) discuss Tapp's recent book on Hmong selfhood, The Impossibility of Self. There is also a near-complete bibliography of Nicholas Tapp's works.
Tapp's anthropology of the Hmong across the world, in Thailand, China, Australia, and elsewhere, is widely known. On the Hmong (Miao) in China, he contributed major works such as The Hmong of China: Context, Agency, and the Imaginary (Brill 2001, 538 p.). The Chinese connections of the Hmong are also in play in many other articles and books. This volume is print-only. Here is purchase info from the publishers:
