Article presenting David Sneath’s reflections on the village depicted in the photographs from this collection. From the introduction: “This article is not the result of a serious piece of anthropological fieldwork: it simply presents a few observations on a brief trip I made to the Mongolian district of Xingmeng in Yunnan province, China, in the summer of 1997, but I hope it may be of some interest to those who are curious to know a little more about a tiny community of Mongolians living in one of the most southerly parts of China.”
