A detailed first-hand account-and critical analysis-of the impact
of the first contingent of American Peace Corps volunteers to live
and work in Nepal, arriving in 1962 just following the King's
seizure of absolute power and the tentative opening of the country
to the outside world. The account not only explores the successes
and failures of the volunteers in their efforts to have a positive
effect on Nepalese development, but also the reverse effects of
their transformative experience on the lives of the volunteers
themselves. The narrative is further expanded as the author places
the mission in the broader perspective of the globalization process
that has so expanded our world in the past 50 years. A richly
rewarding account for all with interests in globalization, social
change, and transnational anthropology.
