During decades of forced sociopolitical and economic upheaval in Tsang Province of China's Tibetan Autonomous Region--with medical texts destroyed or hidden, teachers and lamas imprisoned or otherwise silenced, and almost all trade in medicinal ingredients halted--they had little hope that their 'science of healing' (Sowa Rigpa) would again flourish. Today, however, Tibetan medicine is in vogue, promoted by the Chinese Communist Party as a pillar industry of Tibet and a valuable asset of Tibetans' 'nationality minority culture.' For urban Tibetans, traditional medicine is one of the few areas where a relatively liberal expression of Tibetan identity and language is possible. In urban, medically pluralistic settings it is an easily available resource, while in remote areas, its practice and transmission to the younger generation faces many challenges. The passing away of the last practitioner of a certain pulse-reading or compounding of an herbal formula, for example, could mean the end of a long chain of transmission. For reasons of lack of access, continued repression of nonofficial histories, fear, and loss of living memory, Tibetan medical doctors--the so-called amchi--have been little studied. This volume presents their story, showing how practitioners from Tsang have retained crucial links in the teaching of medical knowledge despite the near- annihilation of monastic Buddhism and 'medical houses'"-- Provided by publisher. 588 Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 14, 2018). 648 7 1900-2099|2fast 650 0 Medicine, Tibetan|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Medicine, Tibetan|xHistory|y21st century. 650 0 Physicians|zChina|zTibet Autonomous Region|xHistory. 650 0 Memory|xSocial aspects|zChina|zTibet Autonomous Region |xHistory. 650 0 Social networks|zChina|zTibet Autonomous Region|xHistory. 650 0 Ethnicity|zChina|zTibet Autonomous Region|xHistory. 650 0 Social change|zChina|zTibet Autonomous Region|xHistory. 650 2 Medicine, Tibetan Traditional. 650 2 History of Medicine. 650 2 Physicians|xhistory. 650 2 Ethnicity|xhistory. 650 2 Social Change|xhistory. 650 7 Ethnicity.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00916034 650 7 International relations.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 Medicine, Tibetan.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01015383 650 7 Memory|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01015940 650 7 Physicians.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01062841 650 7 Social change.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01122310 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 Social networks.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01122678 650 7 HEALTH & FITNESS / Holism.|2bisacsh 650 7 HEALTH & FITNESS / Reference.|2bisacsh 650 7 MEDICAL / Alternative Medicine.|2bisacsh 650 7 MEDICAL / Atlases.|2bisacsh 650 7 MEDICAL / Essays.|2bisacsh 650 7 MEDICAL / Family & General Practice.|2bisacsh 650 7 MEDICAL / Holistic Medicine.|2bisacsh 650 7 MEDICAL / Osteopathy.|2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Asia / China.|2bisacsh 651 0 Tibet Autonomous Region (China)|xSocial conditions. 651 0 Tibet Autonomous Region (China)|xRelations|zChina. 651 0 China|xRelations|zTibet Autonomous Region. 651 2 Tibet. 651 2 China. 651 7 China.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01206073 651 7 China|zTibet Autonomous Region.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01758817 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHofer, Theresia.|tMedicine and memory in Tibet.|dSeattle : University of Washington Press, [2018] |z9780295742984|w(DLC) 2017028012|w(OCoLC)990257562 830 0 Studies on ethnic groups in China. 914 ocn990778187 994 92|bCKE
