This book is the first to bring together contemporary research on Tibeto-Burman-speaking hill peoples in this region and the only multi-disciplinary study of the closely related topics of origins and migration in this part of Asia, presenting current research by anthropologists, folklorists, linguists and historians. Through a series of case studies on local and regional populations, the contributors explore origins and migration in relation to theoretical and methodological approaches, language, identity and narrative.

Recenzii
'Exploring various Tibeto-Burman language groups of the Himalayan foothills, it includes areas only recently opened up to Western researchers. The
book not only presents detailed examinations of the issues surrounding origin and migration in various societies– on their present and past forms, and on their roles and meanings for local societies and for researchers – it also makes a significant contribution to the understanding of the political and social roles of origin and migration narratives in the Himalayas.'
Mélanie Vandenhelsken, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Himalaya XXXII (2012)
