Trans-Himalayan Traders: Economy, Society and Culture in Northwest Nepal

by James F. Fisher

Book Overview

On an isolated Himalayan hillside in northwest Nepal, the village that was the subject of this groundbreaking study in the late '60s--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.
