"An ethnography of the social and medical worlds of a community of Tibetan refugees in India, this book addresses two main questions: first, how has the prolonged displacement of Tibetan refugees affected concepts of health in the exile community? Second, how has exile changed traditional Tibetan medical practices? This important volume not only explores how social changes linked to exile have influenced concepts of health and illness in the Tibetan refugee community but also investigates the contemporary role of traditional Tibetan medicine in exile."--Jacket.
