Nomads of Eastern Tibet: Social Organization and Economy of a Pastoral Estate in the Kingdom of Dege de Rinzin Thargyal

Nomads of Eastern Tibet: Social Organization and Economy of a Pastoral Estate in the Kingdom of Dege: Brill's Tibetan Studies Library, cartea 15

Autor Rinzin Thargyal Editat de Toni Huber
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 aug 2007
This book presents the first comprehensive anthropological account of premodern Tibetan pastoral economy and social organization in the Kham region of eastern Tibet. It offers a uniquely fine-grained descriptive portrait of traditional Tibetan rural life among nomads in the kingdom of Dege. Based upon extensive ethnographic interviews, this study yields a nuanced analysis of the most crucial and controversial relationship in premodern Tibetan societies, namely, that ensuing between local lords and their dependents. It convincingly readdresses anthropological debates and political claims about feudalism or serfdom in Tibetan societies from a perspective that is more sensitive to local historical, social, and economic contexts.

Recenzii

"In summary, this book provides a fascinating glimpse of social and economic life in a pastoral society during the early part of the twentieth century. Rinzin Thargyal deserves credit for producing this rich, insightful, clearly written monograph. This book is an admirable accomplishment considering the painstaking task of describing a past way of life through the recollections of people who were spatially and temporally removed from their former homeland."
Geoff Childs (Washington University in St. Louis), JAS 68 (2009).
