A Village Called Self-Awareness, Life and Times in Spiti Valley

"This book is the significantly updated translating from the Dutch \'In de Schaduw van de Boeddha\', the written account of several longer visits to Spiti Valley between 2003 and 2008. By interviewing and observing as many different people in the valley as possible the author have tried to outline a more or less representative picture of the society, how its people live, celebrate and struggle with modern times, its culture and its identity."
