Book Asian Highlands Perspectives Volume 22

Download or read book Asian Highlands Perspectives Volume 22 written by Yin Dalong and published by ASIAN HIGHLANDS PERSPECTIVES. This book was released on 2013-08-26 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children in contemporary rural China have experienced an unprecedented moment; amid radical economic and social transformations that have sent their parents to urban centers to earn cash income, children have been left behind to live with older relatives. This fundamental redefining of place, parenting, and living has rarely been written about by the children themselves in English. Set in rural Hunan in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, this novel vividly describes farm production, the shift from an agricultural way of life to a life financially supported by migrant labor earnings, local religious life, Huagu opera, education, complex and violent relationships between family members and villagers, the deaths of the protagonist's (Maomao) mother and paternal grandmother, a wedding, funerals, and local festivals – from the perspective of a child. Refusing to drop out of school and become a migrant worker or a soldier, Maomao eventually achieves his dream of becoming a university student against all odds. This unvarnished and vividly written description of a contemporary rural life in China is uniquely important and appealing to a broad readership.

Book excerpt: THE WITCHES OF TIBET is a fictionalized account of a Tibetan girl's childhood in Mgo log (Golok) in Qinghai Province.

Book ASIAN HIGHLANDS PERSPECTIVES Volume 26

Download or read book ASIAN HIGHLANDS PERSPECTIVES Volume 26 written by Kar+ma don 'grub and published by ASIAN HIGHLANDS PERSPECTIVES. This book was released on 2013-03-22 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karma Donrub's (Kar+ma don 'grub) life begins on the boundless Tibetan grassland in 1983 in Yushu (Yul shul) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai (Mtsho sgnon) Province. Living in a black yak hair tent, Karma Dondrub begins tending his family's yak calves as soon as he can walk, in a grassland so barren that he is startled upon first seeing a tree at the age of eight. Charlatan livestock-stealing monks, anthrax, death, birth, happiness, and encounters with modern education create a powerful, unparalleled account of Tibetan nomad childhood in the late twentieth century - a way of life that will soon be forever gone.
