ACCLAIM
This important account of Tuguan Village and the surrounding areas brings a richly textured knowledge of the twentieth century lived experience of this multi-ethnic community. For Tibetan Studies in particular, the Tu/ Mongghul world has often been assumed to have been a Tibetan Buddhist world; Mongghul incarnations of the Lcang skya and Tukwuan (Tuguan) Lamas are mistakenly discussed as though they were no different than ethnic Tibetans. Dr. Limusishiden's narrative makes clear that the area under the control of the Tuguan lama was distinctly Mongghul. Hopefully, Tibetan scholars will explore what this might tell us about the distinctive contributions of this ethnicity to Tibetan religious literature and life (they remain active in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries today). Other fascinating aspects of this study include the demographics, including sparse human populations threatened by wolves in the region as late as the 1940s; and the social lives of the community, especially the details of marital relations, the difficult lives of women, and the material and oral culture of the region. A wonderful read and a fitting tribute to the memory of this important scholar and doctor. Gray Tuttle, Leila Hadley Luce Assistant Professor of Modern Tibetan Studies, Columbia University
Mongghul Memories and Lives is a unique work of auto-ethnography penned by a member of the Mongghul (Tu) ethnic group of northwest China. Through personal narrative, anecdote, and rigorous annotation, Dr. Limusishiden relates the family folklore of several generations of his relatives, intertwining minute descriptions of local customs and performance genres with illuminating slices of genealogy and oral history. Spanning pivotal decades of individual and cultural transformations, this richly illustrated account is a resource for future generations of Mongghul people and gives non-locals unique access to a dynamic society located at the crossroads of several cultures. Mark Bender, The Ohio State University
Mongghul Memories and Lives is a wonderfully eclectic mix of autobiography, ethnography, family history, and descriptive sociolinguistics. The honesty of the straightforward story-telling reaches across the temporal and cultural divide, bringing into plain view a world not well-known to most readers of English. One cannot but be awed by the account of 'rich man' Grandfather's experiences with the Chinese language, and the Chinese state. In this story, but also found in many others in the text, the grand flows of historical change wash against the lived human condition. Keith Dede, Lewis & Clark College
This remarkable memoir of the inner Asian borderlands includes a rich ethnography of a people and culture on the cusp of major economic and social change. Limusishiden and Kevin Stuart have captured an authentic record of Tu religion, lifestyles, and kinship structures. The project includes descriptions of family relations, household life, calendrical and life cycle rituals. It is carefully annotated and is an authoritative resource for students and scholars of traditional Asia. Paul Nietupski, John Carroll University, Cleveland, Ohio
