Together with a new preface detailing the authors 1987-88 research in Tibet, Tibetan Frontier Families becomes a chronicle of four generations of Tibet's Dingri people. This community of a hundred villages is embedded in the Tibetan valleys and hillsides of Dingri adjacent to the Pung Chu River in Tibet, facing Mount Everest from the north, on the main route between Nepal and Lhasa, Tibet.

Along with its unparalleled personal portraits of these mountain people, the book explains Tibetans complex household structure detailed in family genealogies and case histories. We understand the economy of Dingri in the context of village affairs and in relation to the land on which people move and work.

This edition also includes new photographs taken by the author during her 1988 excursions through Dingri.…
