Nestled amid the eastern end of the Himalayas is the peaceful and democratic nation of Bhutan—an isolated country that has remained for centuries a mystery to outsiders. With Meeting the “Other, ” cultural anthropologist Rieki Crins recounts her fifteen-year sojourn in one of Bhutan’s most remote villages and unveils a deeply spiritual culture that defines “sustainability” as an experience where life is lived in the present and where gender is conceived of as part and parcel of the cosmos.
