Rebkong is a valley in the traditional Tibetan region of Amdo,
which is at the centre of a contemporary cultural renewal. Located
at the north-eastern edge of Tibet, it has preserved lost
traditions as well as giving birth to reformers and revolutionaries
for centuries. The people of Rebkong have continually upheld the
purest Buddhist ideals, even after successive waves of destruction
have swept through their lives in the twentieth century. On his
visits to Rebkong, made while on anthropological field trips
through the region, Dr Stevenson met with stern lamas, hilarious
monks, mad saints, painters, naughty school children, worried
parents, beggars, carpenters, returning refugees, bus drivers and
local officials. These fascinating characters animate these richly
woven tales of hope, loss and national pride, in an area of the
world that is rarely visited by foreigners and even more rarely
documented.
