N2  - "This is the first book to deal comprehensively with the history anthropology and recent social and economic development of the Pamir people in Gorno-Badakhshan, Eastern Tajikistan since Olufsen and Schultz published their monographs on the Pamirs in 1904 and 1914. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, such high mountain areas were more or less forgotten and people would have suffered severely from their isolation if an Aga Khan Foundation project in 1993-4 had not afforded broader support."--BOOK JACKET
