建立永續性的農村生活：解析一個泰北雲南華人的農業社區

Building a Sustainable Rural Livelihood in Banmai Nongbua: A Chinese Diaspora Community in Northern Thailand

本文以民族誌的方式，記述一個泰北雲南華人村落的改變。這個村落由原國民黨部隊及其家屬，加上依附於部隊的馬幫於1964年所建立。早年村民從事毒口生產及販賣，也在山區兼做刀耕火耨農業。自1981年許多村民取得泰國公民身分後，這種掠奪式的生產模式便有所改變。基於他們豐富的山田耕作知識，這些雲南華人成功地開發出山地果園經營模式，大規模地種植荔枝、芒果、龍眼和柑橘。

This paper examines members of the Chinese diaspora who exited China in 1949 （or shortly thereafter）when the Communists swept over the main－land. Having settling in northern Thailand’s Golden Triangle aroud 1964，these Yunnan Chinese established viable communities in the mountains drawing on traditional cultural knowledge about hill farming and diverse crops，as well as extensive ethnic networks based on their multi－layered Chinese identity.
