"A unique, densely textured historical and ethnographic account. Engaging scholarship on memory, environmental history, oral history, South Asian studies, and ethnographic experimentation, this book works on multiple registers. The authors' observations about the sweat, dust, tears, and delights of fieldwork are also remarkable in their evocative force."--Kirin Narayan, author of "Mondays on the Dark Night of the Moon: Himalayan Foothill Folktales"
