Voices of the Himalayas: Language, Culture, and Belonging in Immigrant New York explores the lived experiences of migration and social change among Himalayan New Yorkers. The aim is to document the languages, cultures, social histories, folklore, and community life of indigenous people in collaboration with community members and scholars of the Himalayan region. The result will be a culturally sensitive, open-access resource, archived at ELA for all who are interested, a space in which kyi-dug, joy and suffering (of immigrant life, in this case) can be shared – to use a uniquely resonant Himalayan word.
