As Tríades E as Sociedades Secretas Na China: Entre O Mito E a Desmistificação

Abstract: IntroduçãoAo longo dos últimos cem anos, as tríades chinesas, principalmente em Hong Kong, foram cercadas por um imaginário místico e, às vezes, até mesmo romântico que lhes dá uma imagem de superorganização global centralizada, de modo similar àquela presente na ficção, o que está muito distante da realidade.
