Father Jacques Dournes and his practice of ecology among the Jörai people of Vietnam [1/2]

Article available on the IRFA website: here

Father Jacques Dournes, a MEP missionary in the Vietnamese Highlands from 1947 to 1968, followed in the long ethnographic tradition established by his predecessors, but took it much further by developing genuine scientific studies. Passionate about the culture of the Jörai ethnic group to which he devoted his life, he used his talents as a draftsman, photographer, and writer to describe this culture.
