It offers a uniquely fine-grained descriptive portrait of traditional Tibetan rural life among nomads in the kingdom of Dege. Based upon extensive ethnographic interviews, this study yields a nuanced analysis of the most crucial and controversial relationship in premodern Tibetan societies, namely, that ensuing between local lords and their dependents. It convincingly readdresses anthropological debates and political claims about feudalism or serfdom in Tibetan societies from a perspective that is more sensitive to local historical, social, and economic contexts.Brill's Tibetan studies library ;v. 15.NomadsChinaDege XianSocial life and customsNomadsChinaDege XianEconomic conditionsHerdingChinaDege XianSocial structureChinaDege XianDege Xian (China)Social life and customsDege Xian (China)Economic conditionsNomadsSocial life and customs.NomadsEconomic conditions.HerdingSocial structure305.9/06918095138Thargyal Rinzin1560665Huber Toni1956-777832MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782589403321Nomads of eastern Tibet3826808UNINA
