Description

Life and Marriage in Skya rgya, a Tibetan Village is an important achievement, delving deep into contemporary Tibetan society, enabling us to explore the crucial negotiations between tradition and modernity, both individually and collectively, that confront present-day Tibetan villagers. The ethnographic discussion of songs, marriage practices, and narratives gives us direct insight into the lives, experiences and expectations of ordinary Tibetans, sharing the joys and pains, and the hopes and fears of these Tibetans, old and young. We observe how the dilemmas and celebrations that characterized an earlier era persist and evolve as the local society is propelled into twenty-first century China. Blo brtan rdo rje’s honest rendering of the details of his family life make this a page-turning account of life in a rural Tibetan area that is vanishing.

Life and Marriage in Skya Rgya, a Tibetan Village, Blo brtan rdo rje, YBK Publishers, Paperback, 2008, 195 Pages, $36.00
