What happens to a community when the majority of young people leave
their homes to pursue an education? From a Trickle to a Torrent
documents the demographic and social consequences of educational
migration from Nubri, a Tibetan enclave in the highlands of Nepal.
The authors explore parents' motivations for sending their children
to distant schools and monasteries, social connections that shape
migration pathways, young people's estrangement from village life,
and dilemmas that arise when educated individuals are unable or
unwilling to return and reside in their native villages. Drawing on
numerous decades of research, this study documents a transitional
period when the future of a Himalayan society teeters on the brink
of irreversible change.
