Description: How on earth did Stephen Huyler find himself pedalling a bicycle rickshaw through the Indian border on his twentieth birthday? Intriguing stories like this define Huyler's life and his metamorphosis into a leading documentarian of the cultures and peoples of India.
Brief description:
Early in his career as an anthropologist and art historian, Stephen Huyler recognized that most of the world had little access to feeling the pulse of the peoples of South Asia.
His seven previous books and dozens of museum exhibitions build bridges of communication between India and countries beyond its boundaries.
