• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Unlike much of the literature on migration and social change, this work pays careful, nuanced attention to how such education-driven outmigration transforms the experiences of those who stay home as well as those who leave, those who return, and those who strive to imagine futures that posit so-called marginal homelands and well-known cosmopolitan places as fundamentally interconnected."--Sienna Craig, author of Healing Elements: Efficacy and the Social Ecologies of Tibetan Medicine "In lucid and vivid prose, Geoff Childs and Namgyal Choedup tell a poignant story of educational outmigration from rural Himalayan Nepal. Deftly mixing methods and levels of analysis, and drawing on over two decades of longitudinal research, From a Trickle to a Torrent demonstrates the power of a truly anthropological demography to explain the hidden causes and costs of human movement."--Michael Lempert, author of Discipline and Debate: The Language of Violence in a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery
