520 2  "Medicine on the Margins explores the ways in which 
       Tibetan medical doctors have preserved and revitalized 
       aspects of Tibetan medicine over the past fifty years. 
       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'"--
