This book examines contemporary religious practices among the Premi people of the Sichuan-Yunnan-Tibet area, a group of about 60,000 who speak a language belonging to the Qiang branch of Tibeto-Burman. Koen Wellens's ethnographic research in two Premi communities on opposite sides of the border, and his analysis of available historical documents, find multiple advocates and rationales for the revival of both formal Tibetan Buddhism and the indigenous Premi practices centered on ritual specialists called anji.Wellens argues that the variety in the shape the revitalization process takes--as it affects Premi on the Sichuan side of the border and their counterparts on the Yunnan side--can only be understood in a local cultural context. This full-length study of the Premi, the first in a language other than Chinese, makes a valuable contribution to our ethnographic knowledge of Southwest China, as well as to our understanding of contemporary Chinese religious and cultural politics.Studies on ethnic groups in China.BorderlandsChinaBorderlandsChinaTibet Autonomous RegionPumi (Chinese people)Social life and customsPumi (Chinese people)Rites and ceremoniesPumi (Chinese people)ReligionMuli Zangzu Zizhixian (China)Social life and customsMuli Zangzu Zizhixian (China)Religious life and customsNinglang Yizu Zizhixian (China)Social life and customsNinglang Yizu Zizhixian (China)Religious life and customsElectronic books.
