Bangkok: Orchid Press, 2017. On an isolated hillside in northwestern Nepal the village that was the subject of this groundbreaking study in the late '60's - at the time two weeks' walk from the nearest commercial transportation - was as culturally complex as it was remote. While the villagers were largely self-sufficient, it was the ways in which they still depended on outside forces that anthropologist Fisher analyses compellingly in this work. Republished almost 50 years after the original fieldwork to coincide with the publication of a recent follow-up investigation by Fisher (Trans-Himalayan Traders Transformed, Orchid Press 2017) the two volumes provide a fascinating and significant view of the evolution of this once remote culture. 242 pp., 19 b&w prints, 10 figures, 5 maps, bibliography, index. Second edition. Soft Cover. New/n/a. 23 x 15 cm..
