- This manuscript is based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork combined with historical and textual research, that required exceptional rapport with informants, assistants and local gatekeepers as well as ongoing sensitivity of the researcher due to the political situation. The 'extended scale and scope' of the research is demonstrated by over one year of fieldwork in challenging circumstances of political repression and surveillance, which would no longer be permitted today. The quality of the work also relates to difficult-to-gain skills in standard and local Tibetan spoken languages, as well as as classical literary and medical, Tibetan language. The book features highly-original analysis.
