The intersection of local beliefs and engaged religions among ethnic minority groups in the Central Highlands

English review | Anh Vũ - 18:04, 11/08/2026
Abstract: This article examines the process and consequences of the interaction between local beliefs (animism) and engaged religions (primarily Catholicism and Protestantism) in the Central Highlands. Through the analysis of social structure, ethnic psychology and cultural changes, we clarify the mechanism of "acculturation" and the formation of mixed religious forms. The article emphasizes that this interference is not just a process of belief replacement but a strategic adaptation, helping ethnic minorities maintain their identity in the context of modernization and integration.

Preserving the space so that the gong culture of the Central Highlands living with time

English review | Dr. Le Phu Thang* ; MA. Nguyen Duy Dung* - 20:45, 09/05/2026
(DTTG) - Abstract: The cultural space of the Central Highlands’ gong culture is a vital foundation that determines the existence and continuity of this heritage in the community life of the local ethnic groups. This article approaches the preservation of gong culture from the perspective of preserving “cultural space”, considering this a prerequisite for gong culture to survive and adapt over time, rather than merely existing in the form of performances or documentary preservation. In the context of social change, urbanization, and the impact of the market economy, traditional living spaces associated with gongs are shrinking and becoming distorted, leading to the risk of a disruption in cultural practices. Based on an analysis of the organic relationship between gongs, village space, rituals, and the community, the author addresses the central role of the community in preserving the living space of heritage, while proposing conservation directions linked to daily life, sustainable development and adaptation to the current context.

Preserving cultural identity in the goal of poverty reduction for ethnic minorities: Theory and practice in the Central Highlands

English review | Dr. Le Phu Thang* - MA. Nguyen Thi Diep** - MA. Vo Thao Nguyen*** - 15:57, 10/03/2026
(DTTG) - Abstract: Preserving the cultural identity of indigenous ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands region in the context of poverty reduction is both an urgent and a long-term strategic issue. This article analyzes the relationship between cultural identity preservation and poverty reduction in the local ethnic minority communities of the Central Highlands. Based on the theory of sustainable development and the role of culture as an endogenous resource, this article shows that integrating cultural elements into poverty reduction programs not only helps improve economic efficiency but also strengthens self-reliance, identity and community cohesion. Based on a research of several local models, this article proposes policy solutions to promote an integrated approach between culture and development, centered on the community, aiming for sustainable development in the ethnic minority areas of the Central Highlands.
