This photo book describes the funeral houses of ethnic groups in the Central Highlands of Việt Nam, such as the Bana, Edê, Gia Rai, Mnông, and Xơ Đăng people. Included are photos of these people, photos that document statues from funeral houses, and a series of photos showing the tomb abandonment ceremony and people in the region. The book is published in Vietnamese, English and French. The preamble was written by the late professor and ethnologist Nguyễn Từ Chi, who devoted his lifetime to studying the region.
