520    "The Nuosu people, who were once overlords of vast tracts 
       of farmland and forest in the uplands of southern Sichuan 
       and neighboring provinces, are the largest division of the
       Yi ethnic group in southwest China. Their creation epic 
       plots the origins of the cosmos, the sky and earth, and 
       the living beings of land and water. This translation is a
       rare example in English of indigenous ethnic literature 
       from China. Transmitted in oral and written forms for 
       centuries among the Nuosu, The Book of Origins is 
       performed by bimo priests and other tradition-bearers. 
       Poetic in form, the narrative provides insights into how a
       clan- and caste-based society organizes itself, dictates 
       ethics, relates to other ethnic groups, and adapts to a 
       harsh environment. A comprehensive introduction to the 
       translation describes the land and people, summarizes the 
       work's themes, and discusses the significance of The Book 
       of Origins for the understanding of folk epics, 
       ethnoecology, and ethnic relations"--|cProvided by
