Over the course of the last twenty-five years, Tom O'Neill has
traveled frequently to Kathmandu and the Helambu region of Nepal to
undertake ethnographic fieldwork with the Yolmo business owners and
carpet weavers of the area. The Heart of Helambu is an evocative
and touching account of his experiences working in Nepal during
those turbulent times. In his autoethnographic memoir, O'Neill
reflects on the complex relationships he developed with his
research participants: the carpet weavers, their families, and
others in the communities which he studied. A compelling account of
ethnographic fieldwork's personal dimension and the ethical and
emotional challenges that come with maintaining relationships
across substantial social distances, The Heart of Helambu
illustrates an important aspect of anthropological research through
O'Neill's engaging story.
