The History And Development Of De-Swiddening Among The Ersu In Sichuan, China, Edwin A. Schmitt Dec 2014

The History And Development Of De-Swiddening Among The Ersu In Sichuan, China, Edwin A. Schmitt

HIMALAYA, the Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies

The process of coercing or forcing farmers to transition from shifting agriculture to more sedentary agricultural practices, a process I refer to as “de-swiddening”, has been well documented for many decades. Most often this process takes place in the political context of a state’s attempt to make an agricultural system more “legible”, as Scott (1998) has aptly described it. In a more recent context, de-swiddening has actually been taken under the banner of environmental protection. In both instances, institutional bodies which design de-swiddening policies rarely consider its unintended consequences. In China, to prevent erosion in upland regions of the country, …


The Bittersweet Taste Of Rice. Sloping Land Conversion And The Shifting Livelihoods Of The Drung In Northwest Yunnan (China), Stéphane Gros Dec 2014

The Bittersweet Taste Of Rice. Sloping Land Conversion And The Shifting Livelihoods Of The Drung In Northwest Yunnan (China), Stéphane Gros

HIMALAYA, the Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies

Economic development and environmental protection have often proved to be conflicting driving forces behind change in northwest Yunnan province, China. In 2003, the Sloping Land Conversion Program brought an end to traditional shifting cultivation in the Dulong valley—part of the Gaoligong Mountain Nature Reserve, Gongshan County— and is now threatening Drung people’s livelihood and culture while further increasing villagers’ dependence on state subsidies. This paper addresses the implementation of this program and the difficulties encountered by locals in relation to environmental protection and economic development issues. It describes the specificities of swidden cultivation and explores aspects of human-environment relatedness in …


Precarity And Possibility: On Being Young And Indigenous In Sikkim, India, Mabel D. Gergan Dec 2014

Precarity And Possibility: On Being Young And Indigenous In Sikkim, India, Mabel D. Gergan

HIMALAYA, the Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies

In the last decade the Indian Power Ministry began an aggressive campaign for hydropower development in its ten Himalayan states. Twenty-nine of these dams were commissioned for construction in the small Eastern Himalayan state of Sikkim. In June 2007 Dzongu a protected reserve of the indigenous Lepchas in North Sikkim became the center of controversy when reserve youth went on a hunger strike against seven dams planned within the reserve. Their protests garnered enough national and international attention to cancel four of the seven dams. However within the reserve there was very little support for the activists who were seen …


Visualizing Hydropower Across The Himalayas: Mapping In A Time Of Regulatory Decline, Kelly D. Alley, Ryan Hile, Chandana Mitra Dec 2014

Visualizing Hydropower Across The Himalayas: Mapping In A Time Of Regulatory Decline, Kelly D. Alley, Ryan Hile, Chandana Mitra

HIMALAYA, the Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies

This paper introduces the busy field of hydropower development in the Himalayan region of the GBM basin to press the urgency for greater information and data exchange. The paper provides an example of a mapping method and a database that will add to the existing online sources of information and analysis offered by nongovernmental agencies and some government departments. This project contributes to the general aim of many citizen groups to limit, monitor and regulate the practices of hydropower companies and the management of their infrastructure in the GBM. The monitoring pressure from citizen groups and science projects continues to …


Socio-Ecological Vulnerability In A Tibetan Village On The Mekong River, China, Brendan A. Galipeau Dec 2014

Socio-Ecological Vulnerability In A Tibetan Village On The Mekong River, China, Brendan A. Galipeau

HIMALAYA, the Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies

This work discusses pre-resettlement socioeconomic vulnerabilities to large hydropower dam construction as researched in a Tibetan village on the Mekong River in China’s Yunnan Province. Utilizing a vulnerability framework that investigates/engages local knowledge, quantitative and qualitative ethnographic research discovered that prior to resettlement, villagers have developed a very unique economy, engaging themselves in commodity exchanges built upon the highly prized caterpillar fungus (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) and other forest products. Government and private incentives given with the introduction of grape and red wine have become equally important as cash-generating agriculture. All of these economic resources are shown to display significant vulnerability to …

HIMALAYA, the Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies

Showcasing papers from a panel at the American Anthropological Association in 2012, the Introduction to this special issue on Developing the Himalaya highlights how each article in this collection advances critical perspectives and emerging themes on the politics of development planning and practice, with a specific emphasis on natural resource use. The author provides context for each of the articles featured, highlighting the pressing issue of survival challenges and the need for liveable features in the Himalaya, while identifying the key contributions of each submission. Covering development trends and politics in India and China, the contributions point to the need …


Writers, Readers, And The Sharing Of Consciousness: Five Nepali Novels, Michael Hutt Dec 2014

Writers, Readers, And The Sharing Of Consciousness: Five Nepali Novels, Michael Hutt

HIMALAYA, the Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies

In his seminal book Literature, Popular Culture and Society, Leo Lowenthal argues that studies of the representation of society, state, or economy in the literature of a particular country or time contribute to our knowledge of ‘the kind of perception which a specific social group—writers—has of specific social phenomena’ and therefore to our knowledge of the ‘history and sociology of shared consciousness’ (1961: 143). This discussion will focus on five Nepali novels published between 2005 and 2010, i.e. during the final months of the internal conflict between the CPN (Maoist) and the monarchical state, and the period of political transition …
