Abstract:
After recognizing Hmong Protestantism, the Vietnamese state continued an ‘anti-conversion’ politics by encouraging the revival of traditional Hmong religion as a bulwark against Protestantism and by enriching the range of cultural commodities for the growing ethno-tourism market. For the non-converts, not only their resistance of Christianity began to be redefined as ‘the battle’ against Christianity, their belief and practices, up to then highly despised of by authorities, began to be restructured in order to gain new strength to rebound on the national and global religious stage. The new consciousness of the non-Christian Hmong, however, worried the Vietnamese state. This contribution charts the annual competitions between Christian and non-Christian groups in Lao Cai province. It shows that what was meant to become a folklorised bulwark against Christianity became a new m?l?e of ritual competition, as pioneering Hmong quickly seized the central stage. Ritual festivals thus become arenas of identity struggle in which none of the usual identity markers (secular, religious, communist, Christian, modern, traditional) can be taken at face value.
Keywords:
