Third and final installment on the ethnography of the Sherpa people of Nepal by anthropologist Furer-Haimendorf from 1984. Surprisingly fresh writing looks at the cultural changes from his prior two works and then analyzes the cultural trends. Short volume includes some color photos. Recommended for anyone wanting to dig beneath the surface and get to know the Sherpas better.
Author’s second ethnographic study on the Sherpas of Nepal from early seventies (1970s). Contains contrasting material on Sherpas versus other “Bhotia” (Tibetan Buddhist peoples) of Nepal. Not recommended.
Significant as this was first ever ethnography on the Sherpa people of Nepal. Based on anthropological fieldwork from 1953-1962. Very useful as a benchmark from which to measure cultural change over last 50 odd years. Wonderful if grainy black and white photos. Writing is a tad dry, but this work is recommended for those who want to know a richer fuller history of Sherpa people.

Although highly feared (and indeed, the author at one point does literally have to fun for his life from neighboring hostile tribes, carrying a bag of skulls he has 'liberated' from them), the author reveals aspects of Naga life in the communities in which he lived that can stand as standards for any community. Just one insight of Naga tribal life that explains the importance of community feasts: "Social prestige [is not gained] by merely possessing wealth, but only by spending it for the benefit of the community" (p. 52).
Although somewhat grisly in parts, anyone age 12 or older would enjoy this wonderful tale of how Naga life once was. (I recently visited a Naga village on the western border of Burma, now Christian converts, and was saddened by how many of the old cultural identity markers--textiles and ornaments in particular--had disappeared compared to the world experienced and photographed by Von Furer-Haimendorf).… (mais)
