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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRepublished almost 50 years after the original fieldwork to coincide with the publication of a recent follow-up investigation by Fisher (\u003cem\u003eTrans-Himalayan Traders Transformed\u003c\/em\u003e), the two volumes provide a fascinating and significant view of the evolution of this once remote culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e...well researched, well analysed and equally well-written ethnography.
